About the work
There are times when it seems that a veil suffocates us, oppresses us. It is transparent.
We see everything, everything flows in front of us, but we lack air. There are moments when nothing saves us and oppression increases, like a black mass that closes us in a sort of burial.
Just a desperate gesture, done with impetus, with that insanity that only instinct can sometimes make us do.
The fingers look for an opening, a weak point and suddenly it opens!
A fresh breath of pure air, clear, crystalline and finally
I’m alive!

“… Give me oxygen,
give me the habit of breathing
when I swell my chest
and vacuum
(..and worn out)
and under the skin
(… and torn)
(and undressed by pressure in my secret chest)
immensely inhale against the sky! … ”
