I have always studied the processes of becoming. Considering existence as the synthesis of infinite connections of events and continuous potential futures, I gradually abandoned the blank canvas in favor of supports with a lived history. By sewing, unsewing, cutting and linking the wefts of fabrics from different origins, I realized how that process narrated what we are. Building on these intuitions, I transformed the walls of my studio into a gigantic conceptual map from which to extract all the keywords and connections that, since childhood, have fueled my research. My whole story was on those walls: among the words I searched for concepts to anchor with “dots” and connect with “lines.” What I was looking for appeared suddenly within the research process itself. This is how the sewing stitch, which pierces and sinks into matter, linking and transforming it, took on new relevance for me and translated into words and sentences as “dot-line” in Morse code.

In the movement of the needle and thread and in the encoded message, I saw a possibility for the work to extend beyond its material boundaries.
