The main element of Brampton, and my connection to the city that I want to highlight, is the colourful textile culture and t​he abundance of durable, lavish pieces in the local fabric stores. I loved seeing the women in beautiful Saris walking by me as I grew up. "From the Same Cloth" plays on the saying "cut from the same cloth" by showing how a simple scarf can be styled in different ways, each representative of a different culture but ultimately united through the same base garment.
