Coming Home Mirror features a tapestry of hand-tufted Guirra wool, delicately embroidered with motifs inspired by the intricate embellishments once found on Spanish family heirlooms. Each stitch is placed with care, echoing the countless hours women devoted to their craft—adorning the everyday with quiet beauty and intention. These patterns speak of tenderness, of inherited knowledge passed down through generations, and of a time when ornament was an act of love, a mark of presence, a gesture toward permanence in the domestic realm.
Behind the tapestry, the mirror’s surface reveals another layer of memory. Through a self-invented process of hand-poured silvering, intricate crochet patterns are imprinted directly onto the glass. These woven forms, ghostly and fragile, emerge as if from another time—faint echoes of our grandmothers’ hands, who once crocheted lace to soften the edges of a world in flux. The silvering process is semi-controlled, balancing precision and spontaneity; each mirror bears the trace of that moment, where material, memory, and accident converge.
The result is a mirror that reflects more than a face. It reflects a lineage of care and making, a meditation on the fragility of tradition and the quiet strength of those who preserved it. In its layered textures—wool, embroidery, silver—it carries a sensorial archive of home, offering not only reflection but reconnection.
