Vortex – Mid April (The Silence of the Breakup)
Metal print
100 × 100 cm
2025
Limited edition of 10
This vortex belongs to the most fragile and destabilizing phase of love: the rupture.
It is the moment when arguments give way to silence — when words collapse and what remains is no longer conflict, but absence.
The composition tightens around two faces confronting each other without touching. The distance between them is minimal, yet insurmountable. The vortex both encloses and separates them, becoming an emotional spiral that compresses space, breath, and sound. The black-and-white palette removes any chromatic seduction, leaving a raw, essential tension that feels almost physical.
Here, love is no longer expansion, but compression.
The circular motion does not open outward, but pulls inward toward a mute center, where tears no longer flow freely but remain suspended, restrained.
Through the integrated QR code, the static image evolves into an immersive experience. In the generative video — created in collaboration with artificial intelligence — tears dissolve into a state of silence. Sound gradually disappears, like being underwater or covering one’s ears: everything becomes muffled, distant, suffocating. The viewer’s breath seems to slow, creating a sensation of suspension and disorientation.
Silence becomes the emotional language.
Not peace, but emptiness.
Not calm, but a form of inner apnea.
This vortex does not portray the end of love as an event, but as a prolonged condition — an extended time in which absence weighs more than pain itself. It is an experience that does not seek immediate empathy, but invites the viewer to recognize the precise moment when love stops making noise.
During the artist’s recent solo exhibition in Rome, on Via Margutta, this work triggered a direct and unmediated emotional response. On two separate occasions, two different viewers burst into tears in front of the vortex, without explanation and without words. This occurrence confirms how the artwork operates beyond the visual realm, activating a shared emotional memory that surfaces spontaneously in the viewer.
