This specific piece of work showcases the divide between the visible and the invisible by using contrast between the fabrics ; concr4ete canvases, towels and reinforcing rods to create the image of opacity and transparency , as the two fabrics create friction , "a body that splits in two ", and that relies on each other to sustain itself.
