Nature is the starting point of De la Macorra’s works. In her interest in exploring one’s relationship with nature, De la Macorra goes beyond contemplation to experiment with modeling practices. In this piece, the embroidered fabric resembles a photograph of a group of branches. In addition to revealing De la Macorra’s desire to use diverse materials, the format allows her to integrate details that remind the viewer of the infinite subtleties found in nature.
