Hidden Treasures

Madrid, 2022
There is something deeply rewarding about recycling entire objects, breathing new life and purpose into them. It opens the mind to new levels of creativity, uncovering beauty in old fabrics, broken elastic strips, or even discarded zippers.

Through fabric manipulation, a simple lingerie garment was transformed into a piece filled with hidden treasures. The lace, once overlooked, revealed a beauty that deserved to be showcased. Some sections were burned, stressed, and stretched to bring out their intricate designs, highlighting the beauty they create together.

Delicate, transparent threads traced marvelous patterns across the surface. My only goal with this piece was to uncover and celebrate the subtle beauty of these discoveries. By stretching, repositioning, and moving the fabric, I was able to fully appreciate the stunning effects these tiny threads could produce.
