“ENUMA ELISH”
Sculpture
Material: fabric
Measurements: diameter 220 cm
Year: 2019
The work represents a solar disk with 12 zodiacal constellations. It is a circular map of the sky. Sewn onto the fabric, twelve different colored cotton ribbons stand out against a black background, a symbol of the space-time dimension. The Babylonians were the first to use the zodiac system in a scientific way to classify the duration of one year in 12 months. Their solar calendar dates back to 2500 years ago. Enuma Elish, from which the title is inspired, is an ancient Babylonian poem that tells the creation of the world by the god Marduk. The sculpture intends to trace chromatically a story of the solar system by binding to the roots of this science and its current evolution.

“REPEATED ANCIENT GESTURES”
Video
Video loop, 00:55
Year: 2019
This video project is based on the continuous repetition of an ancient gesture: dance and prayer typical of Middle Eastern cultures (such as the Sufi). The circle remains the most ancient sacred symbol, symbol of unity, of perfection and reminds us of our contact with the Divine, with the transcendental, with the creative force from life. “Behind the circle lies the idea that all the phenomena of the world are included in a single sphere. Everything is round, the earth, the galaxies, the stars, the planets and everything moves in a circular sense, worlds planets, satellites and planetary systems. The circular movement is perfect, immutable, with neither beginning nor end, nor variation; this means that it can represent time, which, in turn, can be defined as a continuous and invariable succession of instants all identical to each other. “
