EXHIBITION PART OF CUTTING ART PROJECT

COMMISSIONED WORK

“Releasing one's grip on everything is a profound challenge. It's a struggle that intensifies in the face of the most agonizing experiences—those whose origins often remain elusive. When we do discern the roots of our suffering yet find ourselves unable to swiftly uproot them, we become engulfed in a darkness imbued with fury. This anger is but a natural response, guiding our inner selves through these trying moments.

It unfolds like a dance—an intricate choreography performed from within—a paradoxical interplay of a warrior's tenacity, nervous energy, impetuosity, and elegant poise. This performance takes place within the confined space of our emotional realm. Whenever our soul assumes command, transformations echo through our universe: shifts in the external world, in the realm surrounding us, and within the depths of our being.”

“Because pain is more painful, if silent„ Giovanni Pascoli - Nuovi Poemetti (1909) - from "Il prigioniero"

Contemporary society, bold and unpredictable, heralding significant and rapid changes, advocating for fortuitous goals and unexpected luxurious sufferings, increasingly and swiftly becomes saturated with nefarious feelings that converge into what we all know as a sense of disorientation or the experience of emptiness, one of the constitutive stages of collective life. The consequence of all this is undoubtedly the pathologization of anger, an excessive and sudden feeling characterized by overwhelming anguish, pressing and irreducible, a mere signal that something is not going in the right direction. - DOMENICO de Chirico
