Megan Dominescu’s tapestries provide a witty and incisive commentary on contemporary internet culture. By transforming digital memes and mass-media clichés into handwoven textiles, Dominescu bridges the ephemeral nature of online trends with the permanence of traditional craft. Her works exaggerate the absurdity of mainstream media and pop culture, turning these fleeting digital phenomena into lasting visual critiques. Dominescu’s practice employs irony and satire to draw attention to pressing social issues such as climate change, consumerism, and the performative nature of online culture. Through the labor-intensive medium of tapestry, she challenges the speed and disposability of digital media, highlighting the persistence and resilience of female craft traditions. Her vibrant textiles underscore the contradictions of modern life, offering a space where humor and critique coalesce to question societal norms and the construction of contemporary identity.
