“Trap to sacrifice”
Installation
Various materials: wood, wire, iron, recycled fabric, polymer clay, graphite, acrylic enamel, inks, recycled paper.
It consists of 8 disassembled wooden caskets with relative tampered or inverted metal closures.
The sparrows symbolize joy, fertility and fragility and are metaphors of beauty. These birds were sacred animals to Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Here they seem like made of stone and trapped in a golden thread, a symbol of a bond that is only apparently precious, in reality suffocating and violent.
On the front of the lids small sheets are painted, bearing some “Trap” phrases
usually said in emotional relationships.
Fabrics, papers and wood are “warm” materials that metaphorically recreate a protective, domestic environment.
Inside small frames there are anatomical drawings created with pen and pencil on recycled paper made in Africa, based on dissections of uterine parts.
