Essenza #05 - A Silent Lament in the Fibers of Trayma
A sculpture that uses Trayma fiber, a technique invented by me, which sculpts volumes in space through the use of heat. This work tells a deep and often hidden tragedy: femicide.
In the delicate weaving and sculpted shapes, one can perceive the pain soothed in silence, a silence that too often accompanies the stories of women victims of violence. The female figure represented leaves behind a trail of broken bonds: children, friends, family. Only the volume of the body remains, an absent presence that becomes a message of peace and a silent but powerful denunciation.
Every year the number of victims of femicide continues to grow. In Italy alone, in 2023, 103 women were killed by a partner or ex-partner. These numbers remind us that we cannot and must not forget. - Essence #05 invites us to reflect and never stop talking about these broken lives, so that their sacrifice is not in vain and we can build a future free from violence.
