Filamentos Art by Yelitza Barrios
Miami, FL
Hi! My name is Yelitza Barrios, but you can call me Yeli.
First and foremost, thank you for being here! Filamentos is the result of a lot of hard work but mostly, genuine love and incredible passion.
When I was young, my mom taught me how to weave. I always saw it as a hobby, something to do when I had some free time. It wasn’t until a few years ago when I faced some really hard moments in my personal life. I unconsciously turned to weaving as a refuge. It helped me think and organize my ideas; it was only me, the silence and the movement of knitting. I found peace in the process. I could spend hours at a time weaving, and in that moment, I felt I could truly connect to my deepest self. I found light in the knots and myself in every weave. I quickly realized how passionate I felt about it and eventually decided to share that feeling with the world. That’s when Filamentos was born.
