MAR INTERN

Mar Intern (Inner Sea) is a series of ornamental pieces that, through visual poetry, express universal feelings. In this collection, I revisit ancestral clothing, appropriating the belief in its healing power with the desire for a shift in collective consciousness.

Nature plays a central role, represented with great
admiration for the inherent beauty in everything our planet creates. The materials selected for this works include invasive species, at risk of extinction, or overexploited.

In Roman times, the Mediterranean Sea was also called Mare Internum (Inner Sea), and I adopt this name because all the elements of the collection come from the Mediterranean and, at the same time, represent the inner sea that we all carry within.
