Carnal Botanica I

40x40 “ Pure Cotton–Silk Scarf

Carnal Botanica I is a work of saturation and proximity.

Dense florals press in on the figure, dissolving into flesh-tones, lace-like structures, and painterly marks. Colour gathers, overlaps, and bruises. Faces emerge only to be reabsorbed, suggesting intimacy without exposure — the body present, but never fully revealed.

Printed at full scale on 40x40" pure cotton–silk, the fabric carries a soft, matte lustre that allows the layers of the image to breathe. When worn, the scarf drapes like skin, responding to movement and touch; when folded or knotted, fragments of the composition surface and disappear again.

This work can also exist beyond the body. When framed — particularly suspended between two glass plates — Carnal Botanica I becomes a floating image. Light passes through the fibres, intensifying its richness while lending the piece an ethereal, almost weightless presence as a wall-based artwork.

Carnal Botanica I is unapologetically visceral — sensual without decoration, lush without comfort.
