Silk floating sculpture naturally dyed with plants

Chimera

Materials and techniques:

Pleated silk fabric, hand dyed with black tea, onion skins, weld and chestnut flowers

CHIMERA is a silk textile dyed with wild plants and food waste — black tea, onion skins, chestnut flowers, weld. Shaped into sculptural folds and suspended in space, it evokes a butterfly with leaf-like wings, a symbol of transformation and ecological awareness. Light yet textured, fragile yet powerful, it embodies nature’s dualities and perpetual metamorphosis.
