A scene from Greek mythology reinterpreted, where Heracles kills Nessus, the famous centaur with a poisoned arrow. The work is a commentary and an allusion to the idea of isolation, loneliness and withdrawal. Hand-sewn, through a long and difficult process, the work recalls the old times, when people used to sew and weave, in the warmth of their home, conditioned by the cyclicity of the seasons.
