This project is dedicated to Valencia and its most authentic district - Cabanyal, which buildings were declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1993. I created artworks in a minimalistic style using my own made photography and embroidery around the photos. Thread lines are a symbolic continuation of cables and antennas that surround all buildings. This craft touch is my great respect to the history of Valencia, that became my second home after leaving Ukraine in 2022. With this project I want to emphasize a colourful geometry of Cabanyal district as an authentic historical place out of time.
