Travagghiu
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.
A relationship, an ever-evolving work of art. As delicate as she is strong, the feminine figure exposes her vulnerabilities and carries a burden that can be transformed into light through human connection.
Through the constant addition and subtraction of metal, the figure's form is shaped and transformed, strengthening some parts at the expense of others. It's a delicate balance where every reinforcement implies a weakening. The lamp, a versatile beacon, can be repositioned and replaced to adapt to the ever-changing interplay of light and shadow
