Rosa Tharrats
Rosa Tharrats (Barcelona, 1983) is interested in the sensorial and spiritual communication between different species of materials and bodies. Her work usually starts from fabric to expand into installation, sculpture or performance. The practice of meditation and the application of rituals is often a common aspect of her work. Other recurring elements in her practice are the concepts of transformation, symbiosis or the natural-artificial relationship.
