It dates back decades when some women in my family would gather around to embroider, especially on summer vacations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved working the line until it turned into colorful illustrations in my hoop. We embroidered small hand towels, sachets for drawers, ribbons for gifts, glass lids for jams and sweets. None of this has survived time in my closet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only scissors and some scraps with old tests remained along the cotton lines. Some finished, others eternally on the way. A ladybug, a flowering cactus, cave paintings. The Altamira<sup>1<\/sup> bison was just the outline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/embroidery-post.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/embroidery-post.jpg 800w, https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/embroidery-post-600x194.jpg 600w, https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/embroidery-post-300x97.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Some scraps with my embroidery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In those days, I visited caves and collaborated as a volunteer in speleological research. I lived adventures worthy of a movie, set in forests full of wild nature and mysterious paintings, such as those in the Perua\u00e7u Valley (photos in the notes)<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are traces of the people who inhabited Brazil, long before the caravels left the western Lusitanian beach and burst into seas never sailed before, as the poet Cam\u00f5es wrote. These are fascinating windows into our remote past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The simplicity of the cave drawings captured in the delicacy of embroidery entangled my thoughts. However, what caught my attention the most were the opposites sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my embroidery, I was very concerned with the reverse side of the fabric \u2014 the one who doesn&#8217;t appear, hidden behind the curtain. I tried to make it whimsical and, whenever the layout allowed, as close to the original side as possible, albeit to my own delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Front and backside, those embroideries print a nuanced allegory of those who aspire to mend everyday life with ethics and meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody is perfect. Everyone is a little worse when we come home and take off our shoes and public persona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, those who seek to act harmoniously, walk the talk, and stitch public and private life will always have the nobility of their embroidery recognizable on the reverse side. There will be an agreement between what is portrayed on the front and what is revealed on the back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping this alignment in embroidery is difficult! Every embroiderer knows that you pay a high price for having a demanding needle. However, the result is worth it: nothing is more gratifying than finishing a piece and feeling that we have fought the good fight. And so, we add beauty with legitimacy to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>And that&#8217;s how, when tidying the closets, old embroidery challenged me about the value of sewing our own lives with coherency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/embroidery-backside-post.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/embroidery-backside-post.jpg 800w, https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/embroidery-backside-post-600x443.jpg 600w, https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/embroidery-backside-post-300x221.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>The backside of my embroidery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>1 \u2013 Cave Paintings: inspiration for drawings and embroidery.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pinturas-rupestres.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pinturas-rupestres.jpg 800w, https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pinturas-rupestres-600x432.jpg 600w, https:\/\/anacecilia.digital\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pinturas-rupestres-300x216.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Cave paintings inspired pastel and charcoal drawings I made.

Its lush natural landscape is dotted with ancient archaeological sites and breathtaking colossal caves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">I participated in an expedition to the Perua\u00e7u Valley in 2000, where I visited some of its most stunning caves: Janel\u00e3o (Big Window), Rezar (To Pray), Desenhos (Drawings), among others. It was one of the most amazing places I&#8217;ve ever had the opportunity to visit in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">At the time, I was part of a team of volunteer researchers that prospected and surveyed caves not officially registered yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Today, this park is managed and open to the public, with well-signposted trails and guided tours. Those days, Perua\u00e7u was wild and closed, and we needed authorization from the Brazilian government to carry out the explorations. We crossed dirt roads in jeeps or 4\u00d74 trucks. Then we went into the forest, crossing the dense woods for hours, opening paths with machetes to get to these caves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">The effort was worth it. Majestic and sublime are adjectives that fit here. The impact of seeing these places lost in time is something that will never leave my memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">I also participated in expeditions in Pirapora, Cara\u00e7a, and Lagoa Santa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>Acknowledgments:<\/strong>\u00a0Alberto Nogueira Veiga, Paulo Rocha, and all who gave me their precious feedback, thank you for your comments and suggestions.
