Weaving #9 is an anamorphic drawing, and it changes depending on our point of view. It appears to us as an unknown alphabet, or a secret code, made up of many small particles, if viewed from the side, or it becomes a pattern of small squares drawn in space, if viewed from the front. This texture plays between surface and depth, questioning our visual perception: small aligned squares, or simple lines interspersed with empty spaces. The coloring, done in enamels of various shades and tones, then creates a further dimension, like an iridescent and harmonious pictorial surface.
