Paper, ink, wool, nilon thread
Mixed technique
This work is a prayer, a meditation on perfection which is always so far. It was born from the observation of the mistakes that I do and from a deep analysis that led me to understand that "I" am also my mistakes.
The installation consists of 108 beads (made of written and rolled up notebook pages) and a big wool tassel, like a real mala, Buddhist rosary. The mala, or rather japa mala (which would mean a garland for murmuring), is used to meditate by reciting mantras.
As often in my works, this time too it was the repetition of a sentence “I don't want to keep making mistakes”, to guide me. I wrote this sentence filling various notebooks. After this first phase of writing, I tore up the pages and rolled them up, like a cathartic atc to get rid of my strong desire for perfection. I composed a mala with these "balls" of paper, an object / prayer. A prayer of acceptance.
