Bokel uses different threads and light transparent fabrics dyed by hand in low watercolor tones that immediately remind us of classical dance scenes. The threads tie the light fabrics that manage 10 "escape' through the gaps in a game of containment and expansion, ephemerality and transparency, metaphors for the experiences, tensions and questions of the feminine universe.
