June 2026 - Marita Setas Ferro's Blue Coral Reef Selected for NATURAL FLOW – The 2nd Edition in Italy

Marita Setas Ferro has been selected to participate in NATURAL FLOW – The 2nd Edition, an international exhibition hosted at MUST – Museo Storico della Città di Lecce, Italy, from 3 to 18 July 2026.

Curated by Dr. Carmela Loiacono, the exhibition brings together 24 contemporary artists from around the world to explore the symbolic and environmental significance of water. Through a diverse range of artistic practices, NATURAL FLOW reflects on water as a source of life, transformation, renewal, and ecological awareness.

Representing Marita Setas Ferro's contribution to the exhibition is Blue Coral Reef, a handcrafted textile sculpture inspired by the remarkable beauty and resilience of marine ecosystems. Created entirely using traditional crochet techniques, the work transforms thread into an intricate sculptural landscape that evokes the organic forms of blue coral reefs.

Through its rich textures and delicate structures, Blue Coral Reef invites viewers to reflect on the fragile balance of underwater life and humanity's relationship with the natural environment. The sculpture also highlights the artist's ongoing commitment to preserving traditional textile craftsmanship while pushing its boundaries within contemporary art.

Water has long been a central source of inspiration in Marita Setas Ferro's artistic practice, and this exhibition provides an ideal context for presenting work that encourages dialogue about sustainability, biodiversity, and the interconnectedness of our planet.

The selection of Blue Coral Reef for NATURAL FLOW – The 2nd Edition marks another important international recognition of Marita Setas Ferro's work, further establishing her presence within the global contemporary textile art scene.

Visitors to Lecce are invited to experience this international exhibition, which celebrates artistic excellence while inspiring reflection on one of our planet's most precious natural resources.
