Bringing back the concepts of ritual and ceremony, Bianca’s work intents to set up a moment of reconnection with nature. For her, knits and knots represent an identity element of femininity. Webs, nests, braids and traps. Through them, women hold the world together.

In this room we find the documentation of an action carried out in Parque de las Cuevas, where 500 meters of white cloth intertwine a corridor of date palms next to the river, causing a line that draws the horizon. This same fabric has been used in previous installations of the artist, becoming a sort of portal element used to activate the space. Bianca has sewn by hand five pieces of white cloth given to her by women from the village. This pieces stand as an offering and are sewn in an action of repair. Once the installation is dismantled, they will be buried in the central area of the park.
