With this collection, I try to find the point where Italian colours and textures come together with Mexican traditions and magic. Making my two cultures coexist in one project. Using 100% natural textiles and pigments, I sew unique design pieces by hand. each piece tells a story about the importance of our connection with the earth

HILOS DE TIERRA

"Recuerdos que Fluyen"
"Flowing Memories" 

Every culture is strongly connected to water. Although the relationship that we have with it may not always be that simple we will always have this connection “flowing” in our collective memory.

"Essenza" 

"Essence"

The essence of things is often protected by walls that accumulate like layers. Over the years these layers fall, change or open up leaving threads and becoming the essence themselves.

"De la Tierra" 
"From the Earth"

Our roots are the essence of our existence. They are woven with knowledge, traditions and strength. If we know where they are, we will never feel lost.

Using the remains of all the other pieces, this unique piece captures every single thread and it's beauty.

"Arando al Sol" 
"Plowing the Sun"

In Mexico, we plow the sun rays, we move them at our convenience to harvest their energy and light that make us one of the happiest and most positive people. 

The metal hanger on the top is an ancient agricultural tool used to plow the soil.

"Heridas de Tiempo" 
"Time Wounds"

There is no scar, as brutal as it may seem, that does not contain beauty. A specific story is told in it, some pain. But also its end. The wounds of this coffee sac were covered with golden thread and golden paint to enlighten the imperfections that make it so unique.

"El Mercado" 
"The Market"

The easiest way to find a market is to look for their pink plastic tents. They decorate the streets of the city giving them a specific color, sound and smell that we all recognise as chaotic yet very familiar.

"Tormenta de Paz"
"Peaceful Thunder" 

Every ocean looked at from far away seems so peaceful and calm, but the closer you get to it, you start seeing details and hear noises that make it more and more chaotic and messy.

"Olas y Espuma"
"Ocean Waves" 

Cotton, silk and wool, woven in a vertical loom simulates the movement and different tonalities of our oceans.

"En la Calma"
"In  the Calm"

In the midst of movement and chaos, keeping stillness and establishing inner peace is a form of art.

REFLECTIONS

A small series of pieces that portray a moment of peace; When water is still and serves as a mirror to all that surrounds it. 

By turning the piece around, the landscape becomes the reflection and the reflection becomes the landscape
