Sensorial Skins

Organic Textiles, 2017–2023
“Sensorial Skins” is a collection of bacterial grown skins in different sizes, colors and thicknesses. The Sensorial Skins embody a remarkable flexibility and softness akin to organic textiles. They adapt to the changes in their environment, exhibiting a responsiveness that defies rigidity. In their pliability, we find an invitation to engage in a dialogue with the material world, acknowledging the agency of these living fabrics. Within their folds, memories are preserved, and memories reside not only in their folds but also in the smells they emit. Such a specific scent can transport us back to a particular moment and evoke a sense of nostalgia.
