Bullseye Glass & White Oak
“Weave to heal wounds” is a phrase heard on the streets during March in several Latin American countries. In many places, weaving has become a feminist political act. On March 8th, International Women’s Day, women march—some of them weaving as they go, transforming a symbol often associated with stereotypes into an act of healing the deep wounds inflicted by machismo in these societies. Loom draws inspiration from this practice, featuring a weave made of glass—a material as delicate as the past of many individuals, yet shaped into a form that becomes remarkably strong: a weave.
The design incorporates mirrored elements, creating the effect of a loom, where the resilience of the glass enables the creation of new weavings in the negative space. Loom redefines the essence of furniture, transforming it into a powerful medium of empowerment and healing, the evolving design speaks directly to its users, offering versatile and deeply meaningful connections beyond a traditional function.
Sangre de mi Sangre, 2021
-Colectivo Hilos
“Sangre de mi Sangre” by Colectiva Hilos is a collaborative textile installation that transforms thread into a large-scale visual protest against gender-based violence and forced disappearances in Mexico. Through public weaving sessions, the collective creates massive, blood-colored fabrics that symbolize both mourning and resistance. The project reclaims public space and offers a platform for communal healing and memory.
The process involved extensive material experimentation, including the creation of loom frames using copper wire, lasercut and bent acrylic, rubber, and glass. A plaster mold was developed to conduct multiple slumping tests with the final material: Bullseye glass.
