The woven mixed media works in Tejido Vivo / Living Weave grow from craft traditions passed down through generations of women in my Venezuelan family. Each piece transforms thread and fiber into forms that embody memory, migration, and resilience. Some works depict the map of a journey, others hold delicate remnants of what was left behind, and some weave fragments of an ongoing memoir. Together, they form a living archive that bridges ancestry and contemporary experience, inviting viewers to witness both loss and renewal.
Created through processes that connect me to a lineage of making, the work reaches beyond culture into something profoundly human. With a neutral palette, the objects reflect how memory often returns: softened, blurred, yet insistent.
