Finestre (Windows) _2014/2015 Engraving on glass. cm 21 x 29,5

The Project Finestre(Windows) was developed during the residency at Le Château De La Napoule in Mandelieu curated by La Napoule Art Foundation.

 This project originated from a research about immobility and the perception of time that results, on waiting and contemplation. The window as separation and edge of vision. In such context glass becomes the tangible element of separation between me and the others, acting almost as a sort of boundary line. At the same time though its transparency allows to see what’s beyond it. Therefore glass contemporaneously carries elements of separation, delimitation and protection.

The window is like a frame and at the same time synonym of wait and meditation.

 I worked drawing the windows waiting in some rooms of the castle.

The results was some glass engraving. The drawing was made by tracing the reality.
