Lup Dup , Heartbeat

2021

30 x 750 cm

Wet felting

Lup-dup is an onomatopoeia used in medicine to represent the sounds the heart valves make when they close.

This piece is made up of a succession of felt pages in which the imprint of a plant is enfolded. The botanical impressions follow one another marking a rhythm. The heartbeat separates life from death, and the beauty of the moment that cannot be retained.
