Luisa Duarte

My work explores themes around fragility, the space(s) we inhabit, and the limits that define and demarcate imaginary territories. I use a variety of media, including works on paper, to create subtle borders and delimitations with thread and pins, which are materials that have been traditionally associated with feminine domestic work. In these imaginary worlds, we are protected from the many confrontations we face today, especially in the physical and emotional dimensions.

This work, focused on borders and limits, is an invitation to reflect on the importance of these worlds that, ultimately, encompass us all. In a sense, the work questions whether it is possible for us to imagine new possibilities, in unison, and become the protagonists of beautiful new systems of understanding.
