Umbilical I is a serie of pieces that explores the most primal and foundational bond: the connection between mother and child through the umbilical cord, that tangible thread which once connected us directly to life.

The work evokes the maternal womb as a lost continent, an intimate and protective space that remains inscribed in our bodily and emotional memory. As we move through life, we continue to seek refuges and gestures that remind us of that first intimacy.

Thus, these pieces becomes a reflection on the symbolic persistence of this bond and how the need for connection continues to shape our way of inhabiting the world.
