moss

Aerial sculpture, woven using a stitch called “Anillado Paracas”. The weave is open, allowing the inner part to be visible. The texture is soft, and the yarn tones are pale greens and whites. At the top of the sculpture, a crochet piece made with copper thread stands out, emerging from the weave as if it were foam.

Moss is a non-vascular plant, without roots, flowers, or a trunk. It has a remarkable ability to adapt and easily adheres to surfaces as it grows: tree trunks, stones, mountains, and more. It is like a green tapestry, a great second skin covering the surface to which it clings. It fulfills an essential function: retaining moisture through its porous nature, allowing exchange between the surface it adheres to and external agents.

It feels, receives light, and absorbs nutrients.
