Remains (honeycomb)

Sculpture

2020

"O superbi cristiani, poveri infelici con la mente ottenebrata, che avete fiducia nei vostri passi rivolti all'indietro, non vi accorgete che noi siamo dei vermi, destinati a formare una farfalla angelica che vola senza intralci alla giustizia divina?"

Dante Alighieri, Purgatorio Canto X

The small sculpture is made up of a series of four wax bones. The worms that are inside the display case - which embellishes the contents macabre - are of the species commonly known as wax moth. The result is a kind of macabre dance of the moth that to be able to becoming a moth must feed on the bones by devouring and modifying sculpture.
