This project stems from the reinterpretation of local tradition through the use of the figurative quality of the pieces, reduced to their essential shape by the absence of colour. Black annuls details and specificities, unifying the pieces. They become motifs in a composition that plays with the notions of object and form, through an allusion to “fresco” painting and wallpaper.
