The breathtaking masterwork stands as a definitive milestone showcasing the deep material manipulation and conceptual sensitivity of Ana Seggiaro’s acclaimed Durero series. This exceptional contemporary hand embroidery creation actively challenges traditional media limits, taking an archival renaissance medical and astrological engraving print on premium cloth and transforming it into a rich visual laboratory. Seggiaro painstakingly performs a tactical textile intervention directly on top of the central character, hand-stitching a dense, hypnotic circular mandala composed of heavily saturated fluorescent pink, neon green, and burning orange thread layers. This calculated structural interweaving of historical monochrome lines and soft, electric, life-infused fibers successfully dissolves chronological time into a tactile universe of overlapping sensory memory and altered states of perception.
 
Ana Seggiaro's training as an engraver awakens her fascination for the works of Durero and Piranesi. This leads her both to recover the language of engraving itself through other media and to appropriate and dialogue with the works of these artists. This conversation, however, does not start from a solemn, pristine, or untouchable place, but from the recognition of her virtues, thus allowing her to operate, rebuild, eliminate, and retouch fragments to compose her own work. Starting from pre-existing works of hers, Seggiaro builds a kind of mimicry of the original pieces in an exercise of visual reconstruction that she uses as a structure for her production. But the works are just that, states altered by her gaze that resemble, without repeating, the original piece.
