Based on an ancestral dream that wichi people calls “armadillo’s ear” (fwokatchaj kiotey), an abstraction of a fragment of a living being in the forest, as all the other forms of textile language in this culture. Claudia shows a composition made with an old weaving technique that plays with an imaginary rhythm and mixes with its heritage and feelings, admiring the vibration of natural light, the sun glare.
