Solar storm 2025
Marble, Gold, Nails
19,5×16×2,5cm

Over the weekend of 10–12 May 2024, earth was struck by the largest solar storm in more than a decade. While many enjoyed colourful auroras lighting up earth’s protective atmosphere, spacecraft had to endure incredibly strong solar winds and electromagnetic radiation. Born during this very weekend, this series of sculptures-amulets refers to the apocalypse as a solar storm capable of destroying satellites in orbit and de-magnetizing all technology, potentially annihilating the activity produced by a strong artificial intelligence (AGI). “Apocalypse” has come to be used popularly as a synonym for catastrophe, but the Greek word apokálypsis - from which it is derived - means revelation. These ceremonial objects made of marble and gold recall magnets for solar storms. The alchemical aspect of this work series is rooted in Egyptian funerary rituals and infused with renaissance lyricism, invoking the beginning of a new era of humanism and deep ecology.

Descendant (Tulku), 2025
Soil, Ashes, Crystals, Led, Brass
25×20×15 cm

Like an epiphany, Descendants (2012–ongoing) are holographic sculptures that explore the intertwining, perception, and awareness of the biochemical and emotional connections between human beings. This ‘unified field of information’ embodies a model of a universal mind in constant evolution. An entity to which the consciousness of all sentient beings is connected, each contributing as co-creator of the world.

Children, 2012
Laser Etched Opal-White Crystal
60×40×2 cm

The Children series is a collection of twelve crystals resting on ice. Sourced as scraps from a marble quarry in Carrara, each crystal features laser-etched drawings originally made either on sudden impulse or during meditation, forming circuits that resonate within specific frequencies. At its core, the Children series explores themes of healing, resilience and spiritual transformation.
