For True Belief, Lara Rocho revisits the figure of Saint George — a story that has shifted across centuries between history, myth, and symbolism. Her work translates this symbolism into a personal, fairy-tale aesthetic, creating a mythology of her own. Through the juxtaposition of textiles, ceramics, and metals, Rocho builds tactile worlds that embody vulnerability, hope, and the enduring power of belief.
