I choose a traditional Era for this action, because the shape of the circle is recurrent in my work and is a closing circle of actions. Blue is the colour of the sky, is stability and protection for me; so I start this action painting a small circle into a "circle"(era), in blue to frame the process that will happen inside. I worked into this circle with little balls of my own hair, that I was previously collecting since more than 9 years. This action is a reflection on what grows, detaches and comes back together; and is in constant process because every year I create new balls of hair which then I unify them by sewing them in a vertical thread. Basically has to do with collecting my own hair, which falls out naturally; and gather it back into balls to recover its energy and create something new, forcing the natural process of falling, to take it towards something vertical. In my actions in nature, I like to create a magical-sacred space where the spontaneous movement of my body, together with the present elements of nature, transforming myself into something new.
