Moira piece Nº6 Shot in Mallorca | June 2022
The Moiras were the weaver goddesses of the fate of mortals in Greek mythology embodied by three sisters. clotho spun the strand of the newborn’s life; láquesis turned the spindle, tying and winding the threads and distributing the fate; finally atropos, the oldest of the three, cut with her scissors the thread determining the end of life and the beginning of the next.

Moira piece Nº6 shot by night, Mallorca | June 2022
The foundation of each Moira is made with a wick of the previous one, drawing an interconnection between the whole series. Its weave without weft and without closure generates a vertical movement that connects the above with the below,—the celestial with the terrestrial. Its volumes create spaces within space, as dialogues between the inside and the outside —the personal and the universal.

Inside, an intimate body of diffuse light reveals its matter filtering through the threads and unfolds a halo of flashes when in motion.
The Moiras are both witnesses and bearers of time; they invite us to touch them, to move across them, to inhabit them; it is through that interaction that they are finally completed. So they breathe, they swell, they curl, they tangle, they fray, they degrade; and as they get older, they become more beautiful and even more alive.

The Moiras are great travelers, easy to transport and assemble. They can also be manufactured anywhere in the world. Series 1 is made on the island of Mallorca, using mostly locally produced materials, such as virgin wool spun by hand by local artisans like Eugenia de Llanatura.
