Mater Nostra

Illuminated wall sculpture, artist's collection, Ø 80 cm, 2026.

Porcelain moons set on an ultramarine sky, linked by a thread of brass. By day, their matte whiteness keeps silent.

At night, light passes through the porcelain and makes it glow like an ember, while the blue opens up all around.
