Collaboration with Purification Garcia

Paragraph 1: This collaboration with Purificación García began as an invitation and unfolded as a conversation. The house, known for its quiet sophistication and its devotion to material and form, proposed a meeting between two languages — the discipline of fashion and the slower grammar of art. The object at the center of this meeting was a bag: a form already steeped in ritual, in the small daily gestures of carrying and being carried. To approach it as a canvas was to accept that the everyday is not the opposite of the meaningful, but its closest companion.
Paragraph 2: A bag is a vessel, and a vessel always asks a question. What does it hold? What does it remember? In considering this object, I found myself drawn to the way women have carried things across centuries — not only objects, but stories, languages, inheritances. The bag became, for me, a quiet archive: a surface where memory could settle and gesture could accumulate. The work that emerged is rooted in this thinking, treating the form less as accessory and more as a small monument to the act of carrying itself.

Paragraph 4: What interested me most in the collaboration was the question of context. An artwork on a wall asks for stillness; a bag moves through the world. The piece would travel, be held, be set down, be lifted again. This shifted the way I worked. The marks needed to withstand encounter, to deepen rather than diminish through contact. There is something fitting in this — a reminder that art, like language and like memory, is not preserved by being protected, but by being lived alongside.
For commissions, collaborations, or collector inquiries, I'm always open to meaningful exchange.
