KIZUNA
2012
Milan
350 x 850 x 50
Installation for an exhibition at the Triennale of Milan
The artwork is about the natural disaster caused by the ferocity of the earthquake that hit Japan in 2011.
It highlights the contrast between the furious devastation of nature and the beauty that nature can create in this country during every season of the year.
The installation provides documentary evidence of the impetuous reality of the earthquake disaster and the people’s reaction to it: no desperation, but hope, no resentment, but love and the beauty of solidarity among the people.
E MONUMENT
2014
Appi, Japan
5850 x 1050 x 1050
Sculpture – permanent installation on the lawn at the entrance of the Appi Resort in the Japanese village of Appi.
The monument represents the four seasons in the resort.
The artwork produces fog itself, the light coming from it illuminates the fog with the colours of the seasons inspired by the logo of the resort causing an imaginative atmosphere.
During the winter, when snow blankets the whole country, snow covers the four crystal objets and each of them lights up with two colours for every season.
