Abstract

The coconut palm grows a special fiber to wrap the nuts until they're ripe. After each growing cycle is over, the palm drops the fibers on the ground.

While staying in Kenya for some months in 2017 I made a research on this fiber and then crafted some hanging sculptures that express what those fibers seemed to be telling me.
