Paola Zanda- Reflections:Where are we going?
Alpha and omega are the beginning and the end of life and the tree of life accompanies us on our journey.
I had a lot of ideas about this subject. But I wanted to achieve something different, and the reflection is also what concerns the mind. Your thoughts, your anguishes your curiosity and your fears. For some time I have a thought: where will we go when we close our eyes? The image of the portal of the Church of Washington made me start my reflection.
I have manipulated a basic cotton fabric with vliesofix and acrylic paint. I printed the images on canvas. After making the composition I assembled everything and embroidered with the freehand machine.
Material:
cotton, vliesofix, synthetic organza, tulle, acrylic painting, images printed on canvas, variegated embroidery thread.

A different interpretation of the theme. Well done. The coloured embroidery is the finishing touch.
You have created a portal to the mind with the figures reflecting everything we think of when we close our eyes. Very different, creative and well done.
