How. Crafting. Sewing. Textile. Saved Me.
Overhead: A Dominican woman dances on a rooftop, clad in an outfit sculpted from many miscellaneous textile scraps. She is seen from two perspectives, one inset within the other.
On the top: In a fish-eyed inset, an abstract fabric sculpture lays across a steel structure. Behind the inset, an unfocused panel of cloth with checkered and translucent portions partially obscures a rooftop view.
Above us: In a fish-eyed inset, diaphanous fabric is pulled through one of many rectangular holes in a wall. Behind the inset, a view of a rooftop partially obscured by striped and check fabric, its perspective distorted.
Skyward: A Dominican woman dances on a rooftop, clad in an outfit sculpted from heavy yellow material; in the foreground abstract textile sculptures hang from pipes. The image is framed by a distorted view of the same rooftop.
