PARTICIPATORY INSTALLATION

My participatory installations transform weaving from an individual practice into a shared experience.

Rooted in textile research and manual processes, these works invite people of all ages and backgrounds to take part in a simple, repetitive gesture: knotting, interlacing, passing a thread from one hand to another. No specific skills are required, only presence.

​

The act of weaving becomes a space for encounter.

As hands move, conversations begin or silence is shared. Strangers sit side by side, connected through rhythm, touch, and attention. The thread becomes both a physical structure and a symbol of human connection.

 

I often work with reclaimed and recycled materials, textiles that have already lived previous lives. Through collective gestures, these fragments are transformed into new forms. What was once discarded becomes structure; what was separate becomes interconnected.

 

The final installation is not only an object, but the visible trace of a shared time. It holds the energy, movement, and presence of those who contributed to it.

 

In this practice, weaving becomes language: a way to create connection through gesture, material, and collective participation.
