Falling flowers (inerti) #10, 2025, toilet paper, ink, acrylic resin on found box cast made of reinforced concrete, marble dust, aluminium, steel screws, washers. 12,5x13x10 cm
Falling Flowers (inerti) narrates fragments of landscapes and suspended architectures — fragile glimpses, like the joyful yet worn floral images, conventional and functional, taken from the decorative patterns of toilet paper.
Starting from the pictorial implications carried by floral ubiquitous and tired images, the series draws parallels between bodies and stereotypical representations of nature, consumerism, inhabiting and becoming ruin.
Falling Flowers (inerti), with its exploration of the intertwinement of meanings and materials, is suspended between the pictorial and the sculptural.
The toilet paper and its decorative blossoms — as pigments — are stratified, becoming surfaces, skins, shaped by concrete moulds of empty boxes and construction materials. Screws, wall plugs, and other fastening elements sometimes appear, both as compositional formal elements and as botanical grafts of mechanical hybrid bodies.
The work originates from a personalized process refined by the artist through the study of fresco techniques, tearing, photographic impressions, and the glazing techniques of painting.
