The hand that weaves and is woven appears in a striking image within the work of the artist Lisu Vega. It rests between imaginary texts in passive and active voice, in the form of a middle voice that does not exist in Spanish, but which seems to emerge during the artistic creation process when a creative struggle leads to creation through the connection between a lost object and a resilient subject. Generally, the artist undertakes the symbolic reconstruction of loss through the involvement of emotional signifiers in the images. In Lisu’s work, the identification with the lost figure of her grandmother helps to understand the poetic genesis of her image production and her own poetic self-construction, with autobiographical references. Devastated by grief, in a back-and-forth between memory and recollections, a familial imagery emerges, composed of autobiographical material and a hybrid elaboration of artistic texts. She wishes to rebuild by weaving, sewing, making threads, ropes, and strips, with which she constructs magical objects, following the procedures of her maternal grandmother, Yiya, in her sewing workshop. Lisu finds her style in connection with this guiding figure. Let us remember that the stylus punctures to shape the formless matter, just as scissors, needles, and precision knives are used by Lisu in the creation of images through memories and photographs as material for her production.
