The tapestry is the result of collaborative research, conversations, and the search for ways to translate the intangibility of air into a material form. By interweaving textile and ceramics, a dialogue is created between the airy softness and flexibility, and the materiality and earthly solidity that compose the invisible, mobile, and elusive nature of air. The color palette illustrates the duality of air between life and decay. Black, as the shadow of death, intertwines with shades of brown representing earth and matter, symbolizing the cyclical nature of existence. This transition gradually rises into white, shining as a symbol of new beginnings and purity. The subtly tactile interplay of texture and form in the tapestry reflects the eternal dance of air, which in its invisible elegance connects life and death, growth and decay in the continuous dance of nature.
