Nails, are elements with multiple meanings that refer to our ability to manufacture and build with your hands, to engrave and scratch with your nails, they seem to inspire the author a series of analogies between machine and human body, between artistic artifact and industrial product .
Built in ductile and shiny material, the "nails" are also receptors of energy and light, and as such they become "fragments of vitality" where the creative thrust of the homo faber, whether arist or worker, is reflected.
In this installation, the man-industry combination is therefore represented by the interweaving of equivalences that tend to ideally eliminate the differences between the various forms of production and to claim the importance of energy as a source of life and the foundation of every activity.
