ESTER WEB

Ester Web is a Shibari artist based in NYC. She graduated from MIT in 2019 with a degree in Brain and Cognitive Sciences, and her interest in the human mind colors her exploration into the medium of rope.

For more than five years, she has studied the Japanese art of rope binding, sharing her practice mainly through performances, workshops, and private sessions in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and London.

She understands rope art as a meditative and aesthetic practice that embraces humanity and finds beauty in safe surrender. Rope is often fleeting and impermanent. Exclusively for Gemini Ball, Ester has challenged herself to turn her passion for rope into an eternal, enduring installation.
