Collection Concept: ANHELITUS
Disruptive and irrepressible, a movement of rebellion arises when our freedom is threatened or questioned.
Constraint, understood as an imposed limit, is able to unleash a powerful tensor energy whose critical point generates a longing for freedom that is difficult to contain.
Capturing this moment of tension, is the central theme of this body of work, inspired and developed during the lockdown of the pandemic, when our freedom, physical and mental, was hardly compressed by the imposed restrictions.
