Orna has some interesting questions as to the significance of photos so ubiquitous that we recognize them immediately and whether turning them into needlepoint makes them fresh again. Or perhaps he is stitching through his grief all these years later?

Many needlepointers use needlepoint to make traumas more bearable, after all.
