Details
Matter becomes language in the invitation to look closer, to search for beauty in the tiny and in what is hidden. As in a puzzle, small shapes, of “pixels,” a metaphor for the invisible details that make up reality, defy the standardization of white and emerge like islands in a sea of fog. Some are almost erased, leaving only shadows or reflections, but under the veil of social conventions, of masks, of time that dulls colors, vitality persists, ready to re-emerge. Theirs is the resistance of the authentic in the modern world, where everything seems leveled.
