The word "exoticism", an hand-embroidery writing made with mouline thread of the same color as the raw linen, is in the middle of the canvas.
The term means: fascination for the exotic. Michel De Certeau defines exoticism as erotic of the origin: the possibility of accessing to a primordial time.
The space between the letter “o” and “t” represents the geographical distance with exotic countries and the openness necessary for the encounter with the Other.
