A-FIL-IATIONS

A-fil-liations is a metaphor for our world of social networks and virtual interconnectivity.
Bundles of colored threads, crossing and interweaving
entwined like memory, a multicultural encounter,
women in friendship—singular, plural, universal—
create a space woven into the tapestry of shared humanity.

Each gesture is transmission, each stitch a story.
From thread to needle:united, knotted, anchored, suspended.

Stretch in verticals and horizontals, the threads merge and split,
signs of continuity, of perseverance, interlacings, in vivid shades.

The threads hold tension:strength and fragility, action and stillness.
through the passage of time, stories emerge.

Like the spider tireless weaving, or Penelope, unweaving by night what she wove by day
rituals of creation, renewing what was lost.

Vibrant entanglements, threads of the present tied to the past, a promise to the future.
Weaving hope, ensuring continuity,
Every weaver delivers a message of peace
across time, cultures and borders.

Follow the thread.
It will lead you back—
to the self, to one another.
