THE WALL OF DELICACY (ode to China), 2018

THE WALL OF DELICACY condenses the experience, sometimes tough, of the encounter with a different culture, of a meeting with other human beings.

This work was born looking at the construction methods of houses made with oyster shells in some villages in the region of Fujian, CHINA, where I lived in winter 2017.

THE WALL OF DELICACY generates a hard wave and a rhythmic movement, and at the same time gives an unusual vision of the oyster shell itself: putting them one on top of the other we can look at their profiles. The pinkish broken glass on top of the wall underlines fragility and delicacy, as in a flower.
