Studies in Perception I by @badiabibiana - 2025
Tijuana, Mexico

Exhibition: Spotlight Gallery - Sacred Threshold

These figurative eye sculptures transcend mere representation. Their power resides in the pupil, meticulously embroidered with thread, introducing an organic texture and a profound material contrast. This fusion of the carved form and textile fiber symbolizes the vision of the soul—the "third eye." The act of embroidering the pupil represents the  concept that true spiritual perception is a conscious tapestry, woven patiently from threads of intention and inner wisdom. 

Materials: Embroidery, wood.

Technique: Sculpture, embroidery.
