This work is made from decontextualised materials, it is made from wool production waste from the Paoletti wool factory, thus enhancing the value of the waste material in the production cycle, offering us an image of lightness and playfulness that stops the decomposition of organic matter and becomes its symbol.The weft of this "mdr" is made up of textiles in which there is a tiny error in the machinery, i.e. the omission of a warp, which makes me think of the similar way in which our mind forgets traumas, just as I think of Mount Toc; above which there is a vast area without vegetation and therefore in a state of trauma, corresponding to the moment when the rock collapsed due to the construction of the Vajont dam. In psychology, there is a technique called EMDR that makes it possible to change the image that we have in our minds at the moment we experience a trauma.
