Mural embroidery of the Cadet Chapel USAFA

Stitching the blackline work of the Cadet Chapel captures the intricate interplay of light and shadow that defines its architectural beauty. The iconic structure, with its soaring spires and angular geometry, is a masterpiece of modern design, blending gothic inspiration with contemporary innovation. Each blackline represents the fine edges and linear contrasts of the chapel’s aluminum-clad peaks, symbolizing precision and discipline in its design—qualities echoed in its purpose as a place of reflection and honor. Translating this striking visual language into stitched art transforms its sharp, clean lines into soft, textured expressions, offering a unique perspective on its grandeur while celebrating the harmony of geometry, light, and material in this stitched architectural piece.
