ARTIST STATEMENT 

My artistic research explores the idea of air and empty space, inspired by scientific and physical theories and philosophy. I mainly work with glass because it’s the only material that is carved using the air and the breath, as tools. The word vetro, glass in Italian language, comes from the Latin vitrum which has the same etymological origin of the word vedere (to see): the glass is what allows the vision, transparent, fragile and hard at the same time, unstable and precarious. I use glass in relation with other material and objects, to experience its limits, its transformations, its endless possibility.
