Embroidery Hearts It is an emotional journey through threads, seen as blood vessels that lead to the beating heart of each of us, the core of all things: a tribute to time, memories, and the wonderful fragility that makes us human.
A thread that binds time and space. A thread that, like a clock, marks duration and quantity. The titles, in fact, refer to the number of meters used to create the work (for example, "9.5 meters of love," "2 meters of love").
With these works the artist analyses various aspects of everyday life, a repetitive gesture that distracts her from everyday thoughts, an ancient gesture destined to be lost in time.
The ancestral nature of sewing, linked to the poetics of myth: from Penelope, who at night unraveled the canvas woven during the day, to great-grandmother who, at sunset, unstitched the collar of the only dress she owned to sew another and give the impression of having a new one.
