Penumbra

Where Light Meets Shadow

In astronomy, penumbra describes the softened edge of a shadow—the place where darkness gradually yields to light. Neither fully illuminated nor completely obscured, it is a place of quiet transition.

Inspired by this interplay, Penumbra explores the relationship between openness and opacity, light and shadow, black and ivory. Eight handwoven weaves transform natural fibers into layered compositions that soften daylight and reveal depth. Crafted by skilled artisans, each weave celebrates the beauty found between extremes, where light becomes texture, shadow becomes form, and craftsmanship brings both into harmony.
