Bloodless

Bloodless is a sculptural work by Teresita Fernández consisting of cast plaster forms intricately bound with cotton string, suspended on a metal stand. The interplay between the rigid, pale plaster and the delicate, fibrous string evokes tension between fragility and restraint, flesh and absence. The work's stark, colorless palette amplifies its haunting title, suggesting themes of vulnerability, violence, and the quiet aftermath of trauma.
