The Molecule of Impossibility
Through the joyful gesture of tossing confetti, an almost cosmic explosion unfolds Amidst the chaos and while the clock is ticking, scattered letters hint at the word ‘Permanence,’ symbolizing the ungraspable concept of time. This work, made also from delicate, handmade ceramic confetti, serves as a reminder of time painstakingly preserved through an ancient, enduring craft.
Positioned in a corner, the artwork tilts clockwise, representing changes in the tilt of Earth’s axis caused by the environmental crisis. The melting of ice sheets and glaciers, the extraction and overuse of groundwater, are altering our planet’s weight, rotation axis and equilibrium, and this is emphasized here by the work’s position.
