This exceptional collectible textile art piece intentionally deconstructs classical engravings by treating an archival large-scale blueprint of Piranesi’s industrial and architectural charts as a visual laboratory for an intimate narrative on eroticism, scale, and time. Seggiaro painstakingly performs a tactical, hand-executed embroidery intervention over the composition, filling the kneeling geisha's traditional patterned attire with rich gold, crimson, and polychrome fine lines, while juxtaposing the deep indigo backdrop with a flowing, vibrant carmine red mesh fabric that cascades from her hands.
 
The ambitious exercise of working with techniques such as large-format embroidery only exacerbates the perfection of detail through the change of scale. What was once the page of a book is transformed to bring the dimension of the minuscule closer to the observer. This arouses curiosity and evokes primordial feelings that oscillate between existential anguish, the passage of time, life, death, intimacy and eroticism.
