Messier

M22 and M30

In the 18th century, astronomer Charles Messier compiled a catalogue of diffuse objects in order to establish coordinates within the vastness of the sky. Among them, he recorded globular clusters: true stellar families born from the same primordial collapse, composed of sibling stars that emerged from the same cloud and remain bound together by gravity.

These works take this astronomical taxonomy as an open archive. Each piece focuses on a cluster from the catalogue—such as the swarming network of M22 in the constellation of Sagittarius or the dense core of M30 in the constellation of Capricorn—in order to translate the memory of this collective origin onto the textile surface.

In the embroidery, each stitch represents a star, while each thread embodies the invisible force that connects them: a web of tensions in which distance is also a form of presence. Cosmic time becomes manual time, inscribing into matter a temporal scale that exceeds us through the slowness of each stitch.
