The spine

Espina (The Spine) is a landmark piece by Colombian designer and artisan Rosana Escobar, known for her contemporary approach to natural fibers. Drawing on the strength and texture of fique, she transforms this raw material into a sculptural object. Escobar’s practice combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary experimentation. By collaborating with local communities, she brings renewed significance to materials that are often overexploited, exploring their history and their cultural value.
