Emmeline by Joana Vasconcelos is a striking sculptural work that fuses the industrial weight of concrete with the delicate intricacy of handmade cotton crochet, adorned with vibrant acrylic paint. The piece embodies Vasconcelos' signature exploration of contrasts, juxtaposing the raw, masculine associations of construction materials with the traditionally feminine craft of crochet. This tension between hard and soft, strength and fragility, invites reflection on gender, labor, and the cultural value assigned to different forms of making.
