Part of the Human Fragility series, these sculptures are constructed from sheets and fragments of glass (partly recovered from protective casings, frames of previous works, or broken vitrines) assembled with resin and silicone. The architectural configuration, reduced to ruin, takes on a transparent and unstable form, defined by cracks, fractures, and material accumulations.

I have been drawing monoscopes since 2008–09, perhaps earlier — I don’t quite remember — but I do recall they were already present in my solo exhibition Sinergie at Fabbrica Borroni in 2010. They are devices that interrupt rather than communicate, establishing a suspended space. They do not display content but its absence. Their technical function paradoxically becomes an autonomous image, capable of replacing the flow with the signal itself. In this shift, what was meant to be neutral transforms into language, into an act of power, imposing its own kind of televisual and communicative dictatorship. Today, those monoscopes have turned black like ruins. They no longer transmit test signals but instead absorb the noise of the world, like the broken communication emerging from the Gaza Strip — a fragmented, non-linear signal that speaks of absence and resistance. These are the most recent works from 2025: MONOSCOPIO, enamel and tar on aluminum.
BURQA EX CARNE (from the series Human Fragility) Resin and ballistic gel sculpture, approx. 165 cm Anthropomorphic figure covered by a drapery recalling the form of a burqa. The surface, made of resin and ballistic gel, simulates the texture of flesh. The work belongs to the Human Fragility series, focused on the relationship between body, identity and social vulnerability.
