The Solitudes of the Ego
The collection is an immersion into the deepest intimacy, an introspective journey that fragments and recomposes the emotional states arising from self-examination. Slender, bare figures populate this inner universe. Hollow, deliberately bulky, forms manifest their fragility. Human interaction is the catalyst that brings them to life. The repetitive process of adding and subtracting metal is central to the meaning of the work. A constant interplay between tangible form and mental perception is at play.
The 'drops', usually discarded as insignificant, are transformed through aggregation into a cohesive entity enveloping the figures. Merging into a unified whole. , demonstrating that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This fusion of diverse elements seeks to create a visually striking experience that mirrors the cyclical nature of introspection itself, where emotions appear and vanish, and patterns of thought continuously emerge and dissolve.
This structure serves as a reminder to slow down and find peace. It stands like a resting titan, pondering its own accomplishments. A tribute to self-reflection.
The lamp is a fusion of steel and bronze, a combination that narrates a story of a time when these two metals, despite their inherent differences, shared a common essence. Now, united in a single form, they stand as a tangible testament to their union and interdependence.
