A través de collages hechos con pétalos de tulipán y textiles de piña, esta instalación reflexiona sobre la desconexión con el tiempo ecológico de la Tierra y propone restablecer la relación entre cuerpo, mente y ritmos naturales. El proyecto fusiona arte textil y simbolismo ancestral para explorar la conexión con el árbol de la vida, inspirado en los textiles Tampan de Sumatra y en recuerdos personales de la artista sobre la migración familiar. Las obras, realizadas con materiales sostenibles como textil de piña y cuentas de vidrio, evocan la continuidad cíclica de la naturaleza y la urgencia de regenerar nuestro vínculo con ella.

Commissioned for the 24th Paiz Art Biennial
This participation is supported with the financial support of the Mondriaan Fund
Through collages made with tulip petals and pineapple textiles, this installation reflects on our disconnection from the Earth’s ecological time and proposes reestablishing the relationship between body, mind, and natural rhythms. The project merges textile art and ancestral symbolism to explore the connection with the Tree of Life, inspired by Sumatran Tampan textiles and the artist’s personal memories of family migration. The works, made with sustainable materials such as pineapple textiles and glass beads, evoke the cyclical continuity of nature and the urgency of regenerating our bond with it.
