This unique work, part of the "Tracce di Sé" collection signed by the artist Alessandra Angoli, transcends its functional form as a sculptural container to become a visual narrative of the inner self.
The organic form, irregular and fragmented, seems to arise spontaneously from the material, evoking the vulnerability and, at the same time, the strength of experience. The exterior presents itself with a white and rough texture, a tactile surface that represents the construction of the ego in the external world: solid, but profoundly material.
The true heart of the work is revealed inside. Here, the white gives way to a deep and intense black, applied with brushstrokes that follow the underlying texture. This texture, visible and palpable, represents our internal fiber, the structure on which existence is based. The dark spots are not simple decorations, but, in the artist's words, "stains of the soul, of experience, the traces of the soul itself", which are imprinted on our history.
