LACRIMA, made with overlapping sheets and aluminium casting, is an extraordinary example of emotional minimalism, where the simplicity of the shape conveys a strong visual and emotional impact.

At the center of the composition, an aluminum casting develops in the shape of an elongated teardrop, almost suspended in time. The metal casting, with its organic curves and smooth surface, creates a marked contrast with the deep red background, which amplifies the drama of the work.

The use of overlapping plates adds depth, while the brushed aluminum frame frames it all with a touch of refined modernity. The color choice is particularly significant: red, a symbol of passion, pain and vitality, highlights the cold glow of the aluminum, creating a tension between emotion and matter.

The title LACRIMA suggests a reflection on pain, on the transience or on the purity of a sincere emotion. The single drop, frozen in a solid and metallic form, can be interpreted as a symbol of resilience or as an emotion trapped in time.

The work invites the viewer to a deep interaction, leaving room for personal interpretations. The strength of the work lies in its ability to evoke contrasting feelings with extreme simplicity: the lightness of the concept against the heaviness of the metal, the fluidity of the form against the rigidity of the material.

LACRIMA is a powerful work in its essentiality, which manages to combine emotion and design with extraordinary effectiveness.
