Day by Day (2026-ongoing)
1.6 mm glass beads, synthetic thread
dimensions variable

Day by Day (2026) is produced using the knitting technique known as “prison work” — a form of beaded handicraft made by prisoners since the early twentieth century and now considered an important strand of folk art.

The project progresses during the artist’s “free time,” gradually filling these periods and, over time, beginning to generate its own measure of time. In this beaded structure, which advances approximately 3 cm per hour, each black ring marks the beginning of a new day, while the length of the white segments makes visible the amount of time devoted to this production on that particular day. In this way, the project transforms into a temporal weave that measures both its own time and the time that is transferred to it.

Once completed, the work will mark the passage of a full year.
