The Veil, bead embroidery 240x160 cm, series of photographs, video documentation
2016-2022
I worked on ” The Veil” for 6 years from 2016, systematically sewing black beads into the fabric until they covered its entire surface, turning it into an impermeable, dense and heavy matter. The process was set in the scenery of the places where I lived in Warsaw at the end of my studies and just after. In the process of embroidering, the object itself, my surroundings and myself changed. It was also a kind of personal spiritual practice for me, which gave me a sense of inner peace. The irregular structure of the ” The Veil “is the result of a special creative process, submerged in the rhythm of everyday life. Although embroidery is a repetitive activity, the gestures are never identical, making the structure a naturally chaotic fabric.
