Sewing And Textile Based Works

Kavachi interprets the concept of intimacy, touch and queer love and examines the complex intersection of sexuality. The textile pieces depict our connection with nature, wild forests and cosmos through a shared radar of looking and finding one another. Anonymity and the feeling of otherness, which are associated with these genderfluid figures in the compositions, intensify the sense of a felt solitude within nature. His works take us on a ride that fluctuates between the fear of solitude and the felt exhilaration of the richness, complexity and the unexpectedness that nature evokes within us.
