Before the viewer rises a life-sized figure, part painted, part grown from woven natural fibers. The face, tender and withdrawn, radiates both vulnerability and quiet dignity.

The body emerges from layers of woven textures. Ordered above, dissolving below into wild, fragile corn leaves that extend into space and release the scent of hay. A fleeting, sensual dimension opens. Fragile and raw, deeply alive.

The figure appears like an apparition between earth and spirit. She is rooted in the raw matter of nature, yet distant in the expression of the face. The tension between fragile wildness and woven order, between intimacy and distance, turns her into a symbol of shelter, femininity and the delicate transience of existence.
