Descrizione: Ritual Vase explores embroidery as a sculptural language of accumulation, preservation, and transformation. Built around a vessel form using hand embroidery, beading, sequins, metallic threads, and found vintage objects, it blurs the boundary between ceremonial object, archaeological artifacts, and living organism. Inspired by ancient ritual vessels and early natural forms, the work reflects on how objects preserve memory, embody cultural narratives, and transform through time, inviting viewers to consider the vessel as both a physical container and a symbolic keeper of human experience.

Iskren Lozanov Tecnica: Mixed media embroidery sculpture Anno: 2025 Dimensione: 44 x 22 x 22 cm Descrizione: The Veil of Transcendence explores embroidery as a sculptural process of preservation and transformation. Constructed from hand embroidery, beading, goldwork, found objects, and upcycled vintage ornaments, the work evokes ritual masks, sacred relics, and archaeological artefacts. Through layers of labour and accumulated materials, it reflects on memory, identity, and the fragile boundary between the physical and spiritual, suggesting that repair and ornament can become acts of remembrance and renewal.
