In my work, Special Relationships, I wanted to refer to common stereotypes concerning the opposites of identity, species and quality. Uniqueness and individuality within the same set. As a starting point I accepted the conclusion that the weaving technique is in its nature organic. Even if the raw material is inorganic material, the process of building a multipartic tissue gives it the features of organic creation. To visualize this, I used the simplest geometrical forms that, thanks to weaving, acquire organic features. In addition, intertwining two apparently similar (same) forms, I extract the uniqueness of each of them. In addition to slight differences in values, they are distinguished by the internal dynamics recorded in the mutual relationship of the warp and weft thread systems. I see in it a metaphorical image of relationships between partners of the same sex.
