Fiedler finds a great source of metaphors for her work in the inscrutable character of nature and in the way it is depicted. Wandering, observing, gathering and analysing are part of a work process where body and context merge. The artist appropriates and integrates in her work natural elements that she manipulates and channels through painting, video, photography and installations. Fiedler gathers them attracted by the strange and specific nature they take on when they are deprived of their origin, of a larger body to which they no longer belong. Those elements isolated from their origin evoke a living dimension for the artist, a seductive and magnetic presence that makes her collect them with care, wrapping them gently and carrying their weight and fragility towards the workshop.
By means of the ongoing exercise of finding them a new place, by bringing those elements together, hybrid figures are created that evoke human figures, animals, plants and other organisms. The borders are blurred, leading to new intersections that emerge from the semantic, anthropomorphic and physical attributes of the elements, alluding to the interdependence existing between organisms and ecosystems.
Sin título [Untitled] is inspired by another of her sculptures, Rama y metal [Branch and Metal], a work consisting of a brier and two metal sculptures whose sinuosity evokes a living element (animal or a river); however, the vitality and movement is here reflected by means of the drawing and the folding of the papers structuring the work.
