Atomi dell'Io continues the inquiry of the Implosione series, turning its movement inward. The compact, vertical volume opens along a fracture that reveals a core of small ceramic cubes with a metallic sheen, gathered like the smallest units a person is made of. What usually stays hidden is here laid bare, held in a silent balance between the closure of the matter and the opening that runs through it. The atoms of the self do not scatter: they gather at the heart of the work, where identity is found in its most intimate and essential part.
