Mixed Media // concrete / polistirene / tissue

This work come from the VIVRE project and was designed to unite living spaces and human relationships, in which concrete becomes the main material that has enabled me to hypostatize the malleability of work in everyday life.
My works highlight this systematic nature through the inclusion of architectural and furnishing components, through features that recall both the external urban environment and internal spaces - thus delineating a house that continually engages in a dialogue with people’s everyday lives.
Using this structural paradigm, I have applied wooden elements to the concrete that aspire to reproduce pitched roofs and decorations using stencils that recall urban artworks on walls or interior wall coverings.
In other works I have applied fabric and sewing thread, which evoke both the beauty and the internal warmth of the house together with the tactile sensation of directly experiencing the habitat itself.
In this polysemic exploration, the works refer to a continuous dialogue between the inside and the outside, between sensitive and psychic life, between living and life, in which the work produced by labourers takes on a permanent essence, and a catalyzing element that reifies in human life.
