Crochet technique (fully handmade): 100% recycled cotton & wool
Description
Viscera n°2 is a crochet installation of mine that explores themes of home/migration of a displaced person. I wanted to explore our connection with everything, the realization that we are not separated individuals (relationship : subject-object), but permeable and temporary forms evolving all together and interconnected, as a mass of life, each of us operating as the roots apparently different in aspect but belonging to the same tree, made of the same “stuff”. We are not IN a world, perceiving it, but we ARE the world perceiving and experiencing itself. On a personal note, in this process, I realized that I was subconsciously creating roots for myself, a strong need fueled by having been migrated and displaced. Where is home ? Home is everywhere, so I’m always searching for it.
It is created by hand from 100% cotton and wool. It stands 230 cm in height and 550 cm in diameter.
The work embodies a reflection on one’s roots and is a testament to the evolving nature of artistic discourse in our time.
