Heaven and Earth

Linen fabric, raw cotton fabric, acrylic paint, cotton thread, iron

Rooted in the artist’s Japanese and Portuguese ancestry, Heaven and Earth is a contemplative textile work that speaks to the sacred relationship between the material and the spiritual. Layers of linen and raw cotton, gently marked by acrylic and thread, unfold like a landscape suspended in time. The composition invites stillness—honoring impermanence, balance, and subtle asymmetry. Framed in iron and expansive in scale, the piece evokes a quiet monumentality. Featured during Lisbon by Design Week, Heaven and Earth reflects Azure’s devotion to restraint, ritual, and timeless form.
