Rooted

This large-scale, fully handmade textilefunctions both as a wall piece and as a floor-based surface, inviting direct bodily engagement. The work emerged from a long-term practice of cultivating a real garden, translating manual care for soil into a slow, meditative process of weaving. Here, rooting is not a metaphor but a necessity in response to ecological exhaustion and systemic fragility.
Created exclusively from natural ropes and threads, the piece consciously rejects synthetic materials and the extractive logic of industrial textile production. Organic, root-like structures spread across the surface like a map of inner tensions — at once landscape and exposed anatomy. Intense reds oscillate between wound and bloom, embodying the threshold between rupture and regeneration. A range of textures — from soft and yielding to coarse and resistant — restores touch as a mode of perception and care.
Repair is proposed not as spectacle, but as a continuous and necessary practice of grounding.
