These handwoven panels are a tribute to the rural architecture and seasonal hues of the Alentejo, where agriculture, light, and memory are deeply interwoven. The play between structured patterns and organic distortions reflects the interdependence of nature and human craftsmanship. Using a visual language of repetition, interruption, and rhythm, each panel captures the spirit of Interwoven—as a metaphor for culture, community, and continuity. The inclusion of vegetal materials and weaving irregularities echoes the unpredictability of growth and tradition, honouring both imperfection and resilience.

Peça tecida com materiais recolhidos num passeio pela margem da Lagoa de Óbidos — uma tradução sensorial da paisagem através do toque, do aroma e da cor.

A lã reciclada da Covilhã entrelaça-se com agulhas de pinheiro, rabos de coelho, algas e junco, formando uma superfície orgânica que evoca o ritmo da natureza e o diálogo entre terra e água.

Tecida manualmente num tear de um quadro, com estrutura de tafetá, esta obra celebra a memória dos materiais e a poética do território.
