BEFORE THE WARP YOU BELONG TO
Istambul, Turkey

«Before the warp where you belong to” establishes a strong dialogue with the space that hosts it — a historic hamman in the center of Istanbul. There, where water and communal rituals take center stage, the installation draws on the qualities of transparency, reflectivity, and vapor to recreate a sculptural and textile framework made from manipulated hemp fibers.
In a play of mimesis and reflection with the site, this shifting landscape connects the warp of our origins in water as a species, and reflects on the weft and communal networks that continue to sustain us.
