SABINE FELICIANO
Saint-Etienne, France
Embroidering is not vital; that’s
precisely why it’s so essential to
Sabine Feliciano. The story of her life
is a gradual process punctuated by
fragments of time—a quest for ultimate
fulfillment, a surrender that proves
immensely challenging, continuously
questioning her body, sensations, and
perceptions. This fragmented nature
of time exposes her to transformative
occurrences that unfold. Countless
sensitive strategies exist to awaken
her perception of these in-between
moments, creating an uncomfortable
realm that celebrates life devoid of
any morbid representation. Time
surpasses the boundaries of her
body and soul, ushering her from
immense joy to emptiness, from
hopeful anticipation to painful loss.
Consequently, it compels her to savor
sensations that will inevitably fade
away, fueling her ultimate desires.
Sabine finds fascination in her ability
to illuminate the intricacy of existence
by punctuating this nonlinear yet
continuous process. She relishes in
investigating, fragmenting, cutting,
manipulating the envelope, and
juxtaposing the external with the
internal. Her affection lies with the
imperfections, the vitality of life, and
the delicate nature of its rebirth. She
collects and accumulates recycled
materials—worn-out fabrics that have
been sewn, stitched, embroidered,
or blended together. Textiles form
a profound connection between
memories and emotions, as they touch,
envelop, and clothe her. They carry
stories, and the narratives woven within
recycled, torn, dyed, and damaged
textiles become the threads that
construct an imaginary world. However,
who is to say that this world is not real
if it has the power to move her?
