The series Star Rose, Rose Star refers to star and rose motifs on weaving patterns with frayed edges pointing toward the infinite. When seen from the reverse side of a textile, the star appears as a rose design, and this interchangeability and adaptability of forms is central to Rosalena’s practice. Like a fractal, the star and rose can fold into each other infinitely, evincing an interconnection between the terrestrial and the cosmic. This star/rose breaks boundaries and borders of patterns, as both a digital compass and a single point of origin for multi-directional expansion.
