Sculpture (20cmx9cm) Plaster, Glove, Soil (2024)

Work exhibited at FULLY, TACTFULLY, Venezia

This work addresses the theme of the domestication of the body, a body that, through time, has been shaped, limited, and redefined by external forces. In this sculpture, a hand in soil reminds us of its wild, organic, and free nature. The soil, as a reminder of our origins, confronts the broken gardening glove that imprisons it, symbolizing control, restriction, and civilization. The hand, which still retains its most primitive memories, challenges the form that tries to contain it, evoking the internal struggle between the wild and the domesticated.

"FERAL MEMORIES" is a reflection on the contradictions inherent in our being: the wild against its master, the war of contractions. The glove, a protective layer that limits and shapes, reveals the tension between nature and the norms we impose on it.
