Rabbitskin

The artwork consists of a modular bas-relief handmade from white ceramic powder, with each module being a rabbit that, by interlocking with itself, covers a potentially infinite surface. The individual tiles are sewn onto fabric using cotton thread. The embroidery is also modular, done atop each tile. Due to the type of stitching, modularity, and textile support used, the bas-relief pattern can adapt like skin to various surfaces.

The depicted animals are perfectly interlocked, deprived of their uniqueness and expressionless. They are skins we can use. Yet, deep down, those rabbits are also us, with our quirks and our determination for conformity and efficiency; they are the mundane euphemisms with which we try to describe the world; they are that world which, with each life and each lost word, becomes smaller and more suffocating.
