ANTES QUE AS LUZES SE APAGUEM

An embrace that holds an uplifted hand, wrapped in words such as “to be,” “to be born,” “to re-be,” and “to be reborn.” It speaks of the possibility of living many lives in one, of preserving hope and the capacity for renewal. The hand points to a new beginning, to “re-being,” even before the lights go out, using the outline stitch that dates back to the first Arraiolos stitch tapestries of the 16th century. Tapestry in Arraiolos stitch and painting on wool 118 x 55 x 15 cm Detail. A moment of the tapestry in production.
