The movement is spontaneous and free: the rust sometimes draws black lines, at other times it synthesizes into dots, or spreads into bright orange specks, and in rare moments it gives us a glimpse of an intimate glow in deep blue.

In these prints there is room for everything, or at least everything that matters: to contem- plate the cycle of things, to create bonds with matter, to ask questions to the rust. Here, we witness the beauty and strength of the metal’s transition, its ancestral breath marked on the fabric. In Ellipse, the pieces compose a sequence, opposing each other, in proximity and movement, like ancient planets walking through an ever-expanding firmament.
