The work manifests itself as a silent and powerful denunciation, a visual testimony of the violence suffered and of the hope that resists. The glass, fragmented and blackened, bears the sign of the explosion: it is the material disfigured by the brutality of the racket, the tangible echo of a threat that insinuates itself into everyday life, leaving scars on surfaces and in consciences. The debris, collected on the ground, are not only residues of destruction, but become a warning, a plastic evidence of an act that cannot be ignored.
And yet, the gash is not only absence, it is not only wound. It is also a glimmer, a passage that opens to possibility. Through the fracture, the eye encounters a landscape that becomes a promise: a clear horizon, a sky that expands beyond the black of the threat. Here the contrast is clear and deliberately provocative. The black of violence stands out against the light of the blue, the chaos bends to hope. Art thus becomes an act of resistance, a way to overturn the narrative of intimidation and transform fear into awareness.
The composition itself seems to suggest a ritual of exposure: the fragments on the ground are there to be seen, collected as evidence of a system that destroys in order to control. But the crack, this imposed break, is overturned in a gesture of liberation. Art becomes a witness and agent of redemption, demonstrating that even in violence there can be a space for hope.
