The concept of the series XX XY Embroidery was inspired by cross-stitch embroidery - xxxx. However, the old pattern is modified by the incorporation of a (Y) - the symbol of the male sex chromosome, which forms a pair of binary shortcuts with the female sex chromosome (X) - XY and XX.
The drawing shows other combinations: XXX, XXY, YY, offering a more realistic view of the wide variation in chromosomes. From a distance, the drawing remains legible and unchanged, and up close, it offers a vision of a society that is more inclusive and more representative of the differences it contains.
