Soft Sculptures
The Soft Sculptures bring together a series of textile-based works in which thread, fabric and fibre become sculptural matter. Emerging from the intersection of contemporary textile practices, drawing and installation, these works investigate the body as a landscape of memory and transformation.
Rather than modelling solid mass, the sculptures grow through accumulation, stitching and tactile construction. Every seam, knot and woven surface records the duration of making, preserving gestures that speak of care, vulnerability and resilience.
Many of the forms draw inspiration from anatomy, botanical morphologies and organic systems. Hearts, seeds, clouds, roots and cellular structures become metaphors through which the invisible dimensions of human experience acquire physical presence.
Softness is approached not as delicacy but as a structural principle. Flexible materials possess the capacity to adapt, absorb, repair and transform—qualities shared by living organisms and by memory itself.
Situated between sculpture, textile art and installation, these works invite viewers to encounter matter as something alive: capable of breathing, evolving and holding the invisible stories that connect the human body with the wider ecology of the natural world.
Soft sculptures emerge from the encounter between memory and matter. Fabric, thread, wool, and found textiles are not passive materials but living surfaces that absorb time, gesture, and presence.
The softness of fiber becomes a language capable of holding contradiction: vulnerability and resistance, intimacy and transformation, fragility and permanence. Every stitch is both an action and a trace, revealing a slow dialogue between the hand and the invisible.
These works do not seek to represent the body; they evoke its absence, its echoes, and the emotional landscapes it inhabits. They exist as suspended forms, balancing between organic growth and imagined anatomy, inviting the viewer into a space where touch becomes memory and material becomes thought.
The sculptures are not objects to be explained, but quiet presences that continue to unfold through perception.
