NAKAMURA Mari

Ñandutí canotier

Ramie, 2026

A ramie Ñandutí canotier held to the light, the lace almost transparent.

I enjoy watching the thread patterns spread across a flat surface gradually take shape as a three-dimensional hat. The finished piece feels light and airy, softly letting the light through.
