A new skein invites us to discover the richness in the encompassing story… Unveiling a path to follow, where we will uncover traces, clues to be found in the remnants of the threads created by such a gentle creature, a unique being.

The journey begins with the textile waste, the observation of the silkworm’s life cycle, and the study of the silk-making process carried out in the province of Misiones. This first piece has become the habitat that provided shelter and where I could act as a nurturer. There, the silkworms were born, grew, molted, spun their cocoons, transformed into pupae, mutated into butterflies, and later, after mating, laid their eggs. Accompanying this process by meticulously documenting each imprint.

The artistic exploration of “Transits” emerges from my childhood when I used to bring silkworms from home to school. New questions and inquiries still arise. Do these creatures know they will become butterflies? What else can we learn from observing nature? Can textile waste be re-signified after coexisting with the natural world and behaving like silk threads? How do we coexist with nature? Do we perceive silent transformations?

“Transits” seeks to make visible the processes, movement, beauty in difference, and cycles, while emphasizing the scale and the great work of the bombyx mori. “Transits” is an invitation to marvel at the delicate existence of these beings and the subtle transformative process.
