o Description: This piece is part of the collection of AMATE , an immersive art installation inspired by ancestral papermaking techniques, especially by Mexican Amate paper. Drawing upon the essence of papermaking traditions and rituals, Kantorovich creates a contemporary version of handmade works using locally sourced recycled materials. With this work, Kantorovich explores the intrinsic qualities of paper: it is malleable and fragile, and it can burn in an instant, yet it can also last for centuries. Paper can be easily destroyed but also reconstructed. It can be recycled, transformed, and preserved. She also incorporates found leaves and branches to signify her spiritual bond with the natural world and uses thread to connect all the pieces.
