Suspended between gravity and release, Nebulae unfolds as a large-scale textile sculpture, echoing the drifting forms of cosmic clouds — celestial bodies of dust, gas, and light where stars are born. Composed of hand-dyed, translucent materials in shifting shades of purple, lavender, and blue, the work breathes with an alchemical presence, its forms hovering as if caught in a moment of becoming.
The spectrum of purple — from deep violet to pale lavender — holds centuries of symbolic weight. It speaks of transformation, spirituality, and the threshold between matter and ether; it carries the depth of night and the promise of dawn. Like the nebula itself, the work exists where chaos and creation meet — reaching, resisting, never still.
