Black does not appear here as a closed symbol, but as a field of meanings in tension. A colour that runs through collective memory, holding layers of experience: the intimate, the social, the ritual.
Within the Galician context, this tonality forms part of a human and cultural landscape shaped by the relationship between presence and absence, between the everyday and the transcendent. It does not point to a specific image, but to a shared atmosphere that filters through gestures, bodies, and ways of inhabiting space.
From this perspective, black moves beyond a singular reading as a sign of mourning, opening instead to a more complex interpretation where sobriety, permanence, and a symbolic dimension linked to the unseen coexist.
The project operates within this territory not as representation, but as interpretation. An approach that treats colour as both material and language, capable of articulating memory, identity, and form without fixing them into a defined figure.
For centuries, linen has been a material capable of responding to the many demands of everyday life. It has been one of the most democratic textile fibres, its versatility allowing it to adapt to a wide range of functions within the home.
It was used to make bed linen, shirts, and towels, but also kitchen cloths and flour sacks. Linen could be embroidered or used in its raw state, revealing a spectrum that ranges from the most refined to the most essential.
Rural life, climate, and everyday objects shape the conceptual foundation of each garment within a collection where the discipline of black, in all its variations, structures the whole and activates the full range of textile craftsmanship.
