2021

Chrysopoeia, title of this series, was borrowed from a term of alchemy which means transmutation into gold or the completion of the great work (Magnus Opus), symbolically indicating the successful transformation of all impurities into gold.

Jute, gaze and linen are undergoing an unexpected transformation due to a sophisticated process that alters the characteristics of the materials, in this case transmuting gauze into copper.
