Moroccan artist Esther Cécile Bendaoud Boccara’s Untitled, 1972, anchors the exhibition both physically and conceptually. Hanging from the ceiling and draped over a circular pedestal, this wool tapestry forms the heart of the exhibition, affirming craftsmanship not as background labor but as an artistic force in its own right.

Rooted in textile traditions historically associated with domestic and often undervalued ‘women’s work’, the piece evokes both continuity and change. Its woven surface reflects deep material knowledge, while its bold, commanding presence feels strikingly contemporary. Displayed on a circular base, the work gestures toward time as a looping, non-linear process that folds past and present into one another.

Bendaoud Boccara emphasizes the act of crafting, framing it not as merely decorative or functional, but as structural, meditative, and enduring.
