Plaga Textil

Textile Plague
2019-Present
Series of objects found in nature (such as gourds, leaves, pods, and seeds), intervened with embroidery. Nature has been a constant in my life and in my art.
In addition to being a great source of inspiration, through these objects, I seek to trace a map of the territory where I pass through. It is an attempt to record with thread a bit of the ephemeral beauty they possessed when found.
They are living bodies in constant movement, change, and resistance that allow me to reflect on what it means to be in this world only temporarily.
