“Woven Metamorphosis” (2025)

About the Work

Woven Metamorphosis (2025) explores feminine nature through poetic structures found in the natural world: the cocoon, the spider’s web, and the act of weaving. These fragile yet persistent forms reflect transformation, care, and creation. The cocoon becomes a space of quiet transition: the web, built through repetition, embodies delicate resilience. Weaving emerges as a gesture of memory and continuity, connecting body, nature, and cultural narratives—from Arachne’s myth to Penelope’s patient craft. The work situates these motifs within the moving image, interlacing fragility and strength, past and present, in an ongoing process of transformation.

Synopsis
The video "Woven Metamorphosis" (2025) explores feminine nature through poetic structures found in the natural world, the cocoon, the spider’s web, and the act of weaving. Fragile yet persistent forms carry the memory of transformation and creation. The cocoon serves as a space of transition—an intermediate body where change unfolds quietly. The web, created through repetitive movements, builds a delicate yet resilient architecture. Through these natural processes, the work evokes the feminine experience as a continuous act of formation, care, and regeneration. Weaving emerges as a gesture of memory and persistence, a network of relations where fragility meets resilience and the body becomes a site of creation. The motifs of the cocoon, the web, and weaving recall primordial narratives from cultural history—from the myth of Arachne to Penelope’s patient weaving in the Odyssey. Within this symbolic lineage, weaving appears as a process of creation, endurance, and inner architecture. The work carries this heritage into the field of contemporary moving image, where nature, body, and memory are interwoven in an ongoing process of transformation.
