Entrevista en Fast CoDesing
Whether just a photograph in a wallet or a strand of hair in a locket, most of us carry a part of our loved ones around with us. Artist David Rodríguez does a lot more than that, though: he turns these mementos into stigmata by sewing the likenesses of his loved ones with thread right into his skin.
Rodríguez’s project is called A Flor De Piel, or “Overexposed Emotions” and it’s an ongoing series that involves taking photographs of friends, family, teachers, girlfriends, even acquaintances, and embroidering them into his palm.
