Communication Device, Headpiece I | silk and silk dye, brass | 30 x 21 x 12 cm | 2020.
These masks and body ornaments are not made to protect, but to communicate. They are ritual adornments created in order to achieve a deep connection with the plant world.
The silk satin, fresh and smooth, recalls the tactile sensation of petal. The fabric is dyed with plants chosen for their therapeutic benefits: anti inflammatory and antidepressant turmeric and calming sandalwood. The paper crumples and mimics the sound of rustling leaves, its dark and warm color is reminiscent of late-day light reflected on the leaves.
Everything invites movement. We dance, caressed by the textile elements and we move forward, eyes closed but our hearts open, in vegetal reveries.
