Jiu-Jitsu
In this series of embroideries a moment is captured from Jiu-Jitsu, a type of Japanese martial art that covers a wide variety of combat styles, all based on self-defense without the use of weapons.
Translated Jiu-Jitsu would literally mean “soft art”.
This work is based on a fight, in which nothing, but the ones raw hands are used, with its own rules and technique. Under this construction it seems as if violence shares the same space as art
Characters float inside a cloth frame that it is simply based on two colors: black and white, creating two energies, in perfect balance, enriching one with the other in this particular instant, an instant frozen in time.
