Corona is an abstract textile artwork created through a process of controlled transformation, where material reaction becomes image. The surface is formed through galvanic corrosion between iron and copper, combined with walnut eco-printing, producing rich, unpredictable staining that echoes natural and cosmic processes.

Rust tones and deep purplish blacks create a dense, atmospheric ground, within which lighter stitched forms emerge. These pale embroidered lines suggest a glowing corona, a halo-like structure that feels both celestial and organic. The contrast between the chemically altered surface and the deliberate, hand-stitched intervention creates a dialogue between chance and control, reaction and response.

The work draws subtle parallels between elemental processes and larger systems, evoking nebulae, energy fields or biological forms without fixing the image to a single interpretation. Compact and visually striking, Corona is well suited to contemporary interiors, from private collections to design-led commercial spaces where materiality and process are valued alongside aesthetic presence.
