When we all look at a photograph, we somehow believe that we look at the truth or at some kind of reality but we know that it’s not, It’s just a moment. We all still look at it as if it’s real. It’s trapped in there and it’s like you managed to cast some kind of magic spell on that piece of paper to entrap some kind of reality to use and reuse every time you look at it. I don’t want to be nostalgic. When I work on them, to me they become very present. The catch is that at some point these photographs were to some people really important and suddenly they ended up in a box. I think that what makes them work is that the image and the embroidery at the top feed each other. It’s about feeding another dimension.
Edition: 1 of 1
"I work with sewing, embroidery and drawing to explore the essence of signs in their physical manifestation. I take inspiration from other cultures and see bodies as living graphic symbols. I then use sewing and embroidery in a further attempt to re-signify, and mark the space with a human-made sign, a trace. The intimate human action of embroidery is a ritual of making and reshaping stories and history of these people". - MA
