The three-dimensional appearance of this work is characteristic of the aesthetic maturity of Norberto Nicola who sought to “stray away from the traditional idea of a plane representation”.
Blending local natural fiber and wool, "Meandros" is made of organic forms that intertwine, creating a play of vacuum and full that gives the work an impressive sense of volume.
