Having the characteristic digital light as the central object, I set out to capture an intimate moment of today’s everyday life through embroidery. With a portrait, I show a fragment of an ordinary routine that reflects the duality between down time and the need to interact with the surroundings, whether it is to receive information, entertainment, or mere distraction.
In this work, I seek to put a strain between the traditional and analog with the contemporary and digital, prioritizing certain qualities of embroidery commonly overshadowed by the complexity of the stitches, such as the choice of the chromatic palette of the threads, the integration of the background color as the structure of the image, and the use of the stitch as a stroke. Reinterpreting, from this technique, some of the most characteristic elements of some isms, being the baroque the protagonist by the direct representation of light.
Rethinking this daily routine makes me reflect on this new way of relating to the environment, as to how we change when we are connected and how we are when we are in analogous mode. The repetition of this habit conditions us to a fluctuating rhythm of life.
