Cubes
Sculpture
2022
Porto, Portugal
Words printed on acetate cubes sewn with white threads, on an iron plate, suspended by steel cables 113 cm above the floor. 35 cm x 20 cm x 80 cm.
About what floats and surrounds our urban lives: silent, yet moving our bodies along the pavements; invisible, yet concrete; something we cannot see, but exists.
"In “Cubes” a silence of words is manifested that incites the desire to give meaning in a fragile dialogic balance. Between the movement and the candor of a voluptuous repose, we are challenged by the pulsating games and movements: an almost immobile swing of transparent forms as present as they are absent. The restlessness and introspection about the incomplete in a light and subtle complexity of existing as a line suspended in space."
