L'ombra della luce

The Shadow of Light stems from the idea that a fracture can become a passage. The surface of the aluminium is incised by a central fault that runs through the work and from which real steam emerges, produced by a nebuliser hidden inside the hollow structure.

The composition develops between two landscapes: a dry, cracked earth, embossed on a thin slab, and a soft sky made of acrylic glazes and resin. The fracture does not divide these two spaces, but relates them, transforming the wound into a threshold.

The work integrates matter, light and the ephemeral presence of steam, creating an inner landscape in which what appears as a rupture becomes a possibility for transformation.

The title is a tribute to Franco Battiato and his spiritual vision of the passage from shadow to light.
