Chrysopoeia
Download portfolio ‘Chrysopoeia series’
The Chrysopoeia series draws from the mystical art of alchemy, where transformation is both a physical and spiritual process. Each piece begins as an ordinary, pliable fabric, embodying simplicity and fragility. Through a slow and deliberate ritual, the fabric is immersed in copper sulfate, absorbing the metal and transforming into something entirely new—metallic, iridescent, and transcendent. This metamorphosis echoes the alchemical pursuit of transmutation, turning base materials into gold. The series reflects on the fluidity of existence and the hidden potential for beauty and change in the everyday.
This series is the culmination of a long and intense experimentation process, applying this complex technique to fabric for the first time. The journey involved countless trials and innovative approaches, pushing the boundaries of traditional textile art. The result is a groundbreaking exploration of transformation that marries the ancient principles of alchemy with contemporary materials, unveiling a new dimension of artistic expression previously unexplored in the field of textiles.
