Artist Statement
Every BESTIA I cut and build entirely myself, in my workshop in Łódź. One hundred numbered pieces. Around fifteen hours of work — mine alone — in each one. This is not production. This is the opposite of production.
— Darius Migula
Geometric embroidery forms the skeleton. Hand-placed faux fur fills each field. It exits the surface. Three-dimensional. Irreversible.
One colour family, multiple textures — felt at close range. Cut along the grain. Zero margin for error. I construct each piece after the order — alone, in my workshop in Łódź. No two pieces identical.
One decision determines everything. How much tension to apply at the moment the thread exits the surface. Too little — the embroidery falls flat. Too much — the substrate tears.
No correction. No way back.
I cut each underlay by hand along the grain. I build each piece after the order. Alone, in my workshop in Łódź. Fifteen hours per piece.
Own BESTIA

3–7 days. One maker.
No. It is a structure. Geometric embroidery forms the skeleton. Hand-placed faux fur fills each field. The result exits the surface of the fabric. Three-dimensional. Irreversible. This is not decoration placed on top — it is construction through the fabric.
One hundred. Released in waves. The first twenty-five are available now. That is not a marketing device — it is an accurate description of what one atelier and one maker can produce at this level of resolution. Each piece is numbered.
