The skin is an emotional state, it is a state of being, It is the state of the feminine wild nature.
Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Habitar en los pliegues (Inhabiting in the Folds) consists of the collective construction of a fabric with the technique of felt, which between the layers of wool has woven vegetable pieces such as leaves, branches, roots, etc. The artwork is intended to be an intermediary between the plant, animal and human worlds. This felt skin is inhabited by three women who pretend to be linked to it as if it were their skin, their body, their home. It shows an interest in generating relationships and questioning the ways in which we relate to our environment. This proposal invites the viewers to leave their straight and vertical body, to investigate which animals and plants comprise them, to reach (or return?) to their wild nature. The purpose is to understand that the human being “is by no means a firm and lasting product (...) it is rather a subject of testing and a transition”, as Hermann Hesse said.
