#Project exhibition series has become an anticipated yearly meeting in the Kriezotou window display of the Benaki Museum. Starting with a common object as a point of reference, artists and designers present unique works that reflect their personal creative traits and inspire with their ingenuity.
This year’s starting point: a piece of fabric, free to be shaped, transformed, and reimagined in any form. Through this process, Project Yfasma explores the intersection of text and textile, where words become threads, and design becomes a woven narrative.
The Latins, inspired by the precision of typesetting, gave the name of the woven fabric (textus) to a well-crafted and uniform expanse of text. Typography, then, takes the form of thread, creating patterns as it weaves itself onto the page. Project Yfasma explores this connection between text and textile, placing typography along the edges of the composition—whether physical or digital—mimicking the delicate craft of border weaving. Words become threads, structure becomes fabric, and reading transforms into a tactile experience, where language is not only seen but felt.
