Textiles have become the second skin of young bodies, they transformed into living tissue and in front of us and we experienced the myth of nymph Daphne, who is turning into a tree.

As the sculptor was able to portray the unrest of a scared stone nymph, also Stanka Blatnik captured the beating bodies and the fabric "skin".
