Iberian lynx camouflaged with tapestries

An Iberian lynx walks across a Persian-inspired tapestry. Its silhouette blends with the patterns in the background: animal figures, mythological scenes, and repeated motifs. The lynx does not stand out; it camouflages. The work speaks of adaptation. The animal, a symbol of an endangered species, changes to merge into an environment that is not its own. The tapestry represents a constructed, woven space, foreign to nature. The intersection of both reveals a quiet process of transformation.
