Rooted in an exploration of the occulted sensitive dimensions of contemporary Western life, Lux Miranda’s process places drawing at the heart of her practice. Blending a vast and eclectic visual reservoir—from Neolithic symbols to medieval iconography, neo-Gothic aesthetics to cyberpunk imaginaries, and executed through the physical performance of “tufting” technique, Miranda’s compositions translate mental states and emotional thresholds into rhythmic, chromatic forms that inhabit space like sculptural objects. All the nightmares cross the same river – Underworld conversation, Paris 2024 is an experimental tapestry that conjures the layered interdependence between the subterranean world of the city—its catacombs and buried histories—the surface of daily life, and what appears to be a star-strewn night sky. This cryptic, abstract composition maps three strata of reality, intricately interwoven in a sinuous flow reminiscent of the ancient waters of the Seine. Through its symbolic structure and rhythmic visual language, the work invites a rethinking of our relationship to place—personal and collective, mythical and habitual—as a way of reimagining the contours of what we call “reality.”
