Each layer, applied, sanded, and eroded, reveals a geological terrain where matter retains traces of its natural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e The textile elements introduce a domestic and bodily memory: fibers that have been woven, used, and worn. The metal and hand-forged nails contribute an artisanal and industrial dimension, bearing traces of fire, manual labor, and oxidation. The dialogue between the organic, the textile, and the metallic articulates a reflection on transformation, use, and permanence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmotional topography and sculptural presence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The reliefs and depressions create an interior geography that reacts to the light.
