About the work

"The Seamstress": An elderly woman occupies the center of this scene, her skilled hands weaving feminine intimacy through her gestures.

Despite the marks of time visible on her concentrated face, her expertise remains timeless. She meticulously crafts women's undergarments, each piece displaying a precision that defies her age.

From her fingers emerge both bold bras, evoking a discreet recklessness, and more classic models.

I seek to capture the essence of this artisanal craft, paying homage to those women who, in the shadows of these alleyways, shaped the dreams and secrets of the women of their time."
