ceramic sculpture on iron base, metal mesh insert, plate and cotton thread
winner of the critics' prize at the 2021 Michelangelo Buonarroti International Prize
"The discomfort experienced through the processing of pain, breaking down the female figure into parts marked by tears that the treatment will recompose, forming scars.
The elements are chosen not by chance:
the left arm and hand, in search of meaning and reason,
the trunk, empty shell
the feet, nervous, unsure, looking for roots
The heart, served on a plate, is no longer part of the body, when hardened it leaves room for the unconscious, it hides a wound which, when opened, like a woman, manifests the most intimate feeling.
Sewn together with nails, it can only be saved by a red thread, a symbolic archetype of the union between kindred souls. It recomposes the figure by combining emotions with the roots and the hand."
