Hi, I’m Diana, thanks for visiting. My practice is rooted in memory — in the tension between wonder and loss, care and transformation — and unfolds through textiles as both material and language. I work primarily with cloth that already holds a history: natural fabrics, inherited pieces, and secondhand garments whose wear, fragility, and imperfections carry traces of other lives. Through embroidery, layering, mending, and intervention, I seek not to erase those histories but to continue them, allowing new narratives to emerge from what already exists.

Hand stitching is central to my process. The slow, repetitive act of drawing with thread anchors thought in the body; it becomes a space where reflection, emotion, and material presence converge. Slowness, for me, is not simply technique — it is a form of attention, care, and resistance to disposability.

My relationship to the natural world profoundly shapes this work, a sensibility formed in the lush foothills of southern Colombia, where dense vegetation, humidity, and the constant cycles of growth and decay made material transformation visibly present. That landscape continues to inform my understanding of textiles as living surfaces — porous, vulnerable, and capable of holding memory. Through them, I explore continuity, repair, and the quiet persistence of life within change.

My practice extends a lineage of textile gestures inherited from generations of women in my family — and across many familial traditions — where embroidery and sewing operate as durational acts that create space for reflection, continuity, and repair.
