LAST DAY to experience Sacred Threshold by @badiabibiana ✨

A deeply immersive exhibition where textile becomes a language of healing, ancestry, and spiritual exploration.

Embroidered eyes invite expanded perception. A rhomboid portal leads toward a “cosmic egg” — a symbol of rebirth and pure potential. At the center of the work, a dialogue with artist Zulema Ruiz transforms embroidery into an act of inherited memory and meditation.

Today is your final chance to see this extraordinary exhibition before it closes.

💙 Blue Lady (2022) by Nancy Lemke

What started as a chicken… became something entirely different.

By simply turning the canvas, Nancy discovered a hidden figure—a woman waiting to emerge. She followed that instinct, cutting, layering, and stitching her into life using fabric, antique doilies, beads, and more.

Materials: canvas, acrylic, fabric, buttons, turquoise beads

Techniques: painting, hand + machine stitching, appliqué, embellishment
A reminder that art evolves when you let it. ✨
