HOT IRON
Hot Iron begins with my encounter with designer Daniela Boni and a dialogue with her iron light sculptures.
Over the course of more than a year, I work with women from different creative backgrounds, building a relationship with each of them that becomes an essential part of the project.
I am interested in what happens when the human body meets a material that, by its very nature, is capable of transformation. Iron loses its original function and is no longer simply a lamp;
the body, in turn, is no longer just a body. Through their encounter, both are transformed, giving rise to new forms in which matter, light and gesture become a shared visual language.
I explore the tension between the feminine and metal, softness and strength, not as opposing forces but as elements seeking balance through transformation.
I invite the viewer to look beyond what the body and iron are, and instead consider what they become together. In this liminal space,
transformation becomes a way of reflecting on relationships, identity and the possibility of moving beyond opposites.
The Circle Cycle series reflects the symbolic nature of the circle — a form without beginning or end — where body and object enter a silent dialogue.
