Although embroidery is limited to a two-dimensional surface, the artist strives to transform this craft into a new artistic act, to take it beyond the genre and not just present it as a work of graphic art, but to transfer it into the 3D format of mobile architecture. Maria Arendt expands this direction into "textile architecture". Memories are recorded on a "flash drive" and at the same time are a mystical talisman, it is a sanctuary, a scroll, and a prayer carpet at the same time. It is a screen that protects from unforeseen circumstances of the environment, and at the same time a screen that records the impressions and emotions of the artist. It is an exhibition stand and a tent that shelters the traveler from heat or cold. The elements of the "architecture" of Maria Arendt's curtains have two sides. The front is for the public, the back is sacred. It is no coincidence that the artist shows the public the inner side of her works, but cannot decide for herself which side is more important. Perhaps this is the bifurcation point where an alternative history begins.
