WATER TO THE EDGE OF SOUL

Water is an element of creation in the Greek mythology, and the source of all creatures. In my research I have focused in women's figures, their bodies half human half beast. Such as Scylla, who immerses in poisonous bath waters, and her organs turn into a horrible monster.

These figures are filled with emotions which they are expected to conquer, or bear the toll of its bursting out, and change their exterior and interior.

The collection is built with wear elements I have dyed and stained, designed in rounded lines, like the motion of water waves. Alongside, items made with handmade thread-work, partially embroidered on a material that reacts to water, and melt at their touch. It continues and embroider the movement of the cloth, and sometimes seem like dripping upon them, respondent to the body contour or bursting out of it in an unconstrained movement.

Materials: "Vanishing" fabric (PVA), cotton and polyester threads, synthetic fabric and knit, textile dyes and ink.
Techniques: Dyeing, embroidery, thread sculpting.
