Senza Volto represents the mask we wear to conform to social expectations, highlighting the contrast between the visible part, represented by the golden threads, and the hidden and mysterious side of the human being, symbolized by the glossy resin. The bowline knot, which can tighten or loosen, embodies the dilemma between remaining trapped in falseness or breaking free to reveal one's true nature. The contrasting colors and textures amplify the tension between appearance and truth, inviting reflection on the complexity and mystery within each of us.
Senza Volto
The artwork Senza Volto explores the theme of falseness through the representation of a mask, symbolizing people who hide their true nature behind a socially constructed face. The golden threads represent the facade built to be accepted, while the glossy resin part, with its opaque yet shiny appearance, embodies the hidden and mysterious side of the human being, the part that remains concealed from others. This contrast between different surfaces expresses the dichotomy between what we show and what we hide, between the light of accepted falseness and the darkness of personal truth.
The bowline knot, suspended above the head like a noose, represents the condition of those trapped in this duality: pulling from one side tightens their prison, continuing to wear the mask; pulling from the other side offers the chance to break free and reveal one's authenticity. The use of gold and black colors, along with the glossy resin, reinforces the contrast between appearance and truth, between mystery and transparency, offering a deep reflection on the complexity of the human soul.
