Hypothesis
Limestone, h cm200
hypo: under,
thesis: position
Hypothesis = supposition.
My work is the result of a research, where different symbolic meanings coexist.
The column - the union between earth and sky, the ascent.
The door - the gate, the border, the passage.
The spiritual tension towards the universe, the absolute is translated into a search for infinity, the fourth dimension.
Thus, I conceived this shape as union of the archetypes of the column and the door, not to be crossed physically but only through imagination to get into a superior dimension, a triangular shape developed into a shocking geometry of levels, facets and carvings.
The work, rising upwards with strength, seems majestic, as it is almost a passage ready to open itself towards the unknown, and to bring man to become aware of himself.
