DARNING PROCESS Grupul Aproximativ 28 The project was born from our desire not only to repair things, but also to heal parts of ourselves. We are seven artists, mothers, and women coming from different places and contexts, meeting here to reweave threads, ideas, thoughts, and gestures. We chose to work with artificial silk stockings — a fragile, almost transparent material that bears the traces of time and reflects the vulnerability of women. Instead of hiding imperfections, we choose to reframe them, to transform them into new forms. Each act of darning (a drop of nail polish that stops the thread from unraveling) becomes a breath, an attempt to repair, but also to be reborn. The simple, old-fashioned gesture that we present to the public speaks of how art can heal, of the possibility of continuation. Darning is not just a domestic act, but a metaphor for resilience. It is our way of saying that sometimes, beauty is born precisely from the things that have come undone.
