Shipwreck as an unexpected detour that turns into refuge—an asylum from life’s storms.

The storm is not destructive but an ally; the sea, a mother who embraces and propels, cradling the castaway on his makeshift raft. Adrift, the solitary journey becomes one of rediscovery, where the strength of nature offers shelter and salvation.

The embroidered map, a linen cloth stained with chelated iron, is not a way home but an archive of experiences and discoveries—traces of a new voyage, where time measures not distance but transformation.

Description

Created in August 2020, this hand embroidery on a worn linen cloth (42×52 cm) is kept inside an old wooden pencil case (22×9×9 cm). Resting on top lies a shipwrecked figure made of rusted wire, surrounded by test tubes, driftwood, coins, seeds, and other symbolic objects.

Shipwreck is part of the Temporal Artifacts series, in which each stitched fragment embodies an inner memory preserved in physical form. The creative process begins with found objects, timeworn fabrics, and autobiographical impressions. Every piece is unique and unrepeatable.

The materials used are delicate and often one of a kind: vintage medical gauze, hand-drawn tissue papers, translucent fabrics, glass, wood, metal. Some are recycled, others altered over time. Each component is chosen for its tactile and evocative qualities, and assembled in a way that preserves its original identity.

Each work is shipped in a custom package, protected by natural materials and completely plastic-free. It is intended to be kept indoors, away from direct sunlight and humidity. The embroidery can be machine-washed at 40°C with a natural detergent and no softener. Do not open the box frequently and handle with care: the materials are fragile and meant to last only if safeguarded attentively.
