Avyakta

Avyakta

The sky is understood here as a space in constant formation. What we see from Earth is no longer the sky of the present, but a past state of the universe, a reflection of what once was; the work inhabits precisely that space between what occurs and what becomes visible. My intention is to embroider that sky, that precise moment of possibility.

This embroidery does not propose a constellation or a star map, but an open territory where the visibility of the cluster and the opacity of the nebula coexist as latent forces. For this, I take as references the dark nebula Barnard 86—dense clouds of interstellar gas and dust that block the light of stars behind them—and the open cluster NGC 6520, a group of stars formed from the same nebula, bound together by gravity.

Faced with such immensity, the embroidery presents itself as a minimal gesture, an expanded duration of handwork. Through insistence, dedication, and the sustained time of making, each stitch anchors a unit of duration. It is my way of rehearsing a sensitive knowledge—neither scientific nor descriptive—about sideral time and the transformation of matter. To embroider, then, a field of the possible: an open space, in permanent becoming.
