The Salvage Hymn developed from a repurposed piece of discarded bamboo. Its arched shape determined the form of the work, with repurposed textiles and paper layered, manipulated and stitched in response. The composition evolved through a sequence of additions and adjustments as the relationship between the bamboo structure and the constructed surface developed. Rather than working towards a predetermined outcome, each intervention responded to the material and informed the next decision.
Sacred Sentimentality 1 was developed from an antique silk embroidered kimono, layered with antique textile fragments and scrim to establish the foundation of the work. Stitch and cutting back were used to reconfigure the surface, creating subtle gridlike structures while allowing the marks and wear of the original kimono to remain visible. Gold leaf was introduced as a final intervention, with an off-centre cross-like form applied across the composition. Rather than obscuring the original textile, each intervention responds to its existing qualities, allowing the material to continue to shape the work as it evolves.
Within Without 5 was developed from a repurposed leather horse saddle. Its existing form and tactile qualities established the starting point for the work, with subsequent decisions responding to the material rather than imposing a predetermined outcome. Gold leaf and gilded repurposed textiles were introduced to transform and reconfigure the saddle while retaining its physical presence. These interventions disrupt the original surface, creating a counterpoint between the worn leather, the gilded textiles and the underlying structure.
The Marks That We Leave was created by layering repurposed textiles before building the surface with acrylic, gouache and spray paint. The work evolved through a process of responding to the changing facet with each layer informing the next intervention. The surface was cut back to expose the underlying textile layers, while stitch was introduced to disrupt and reconfigure the composition, creating a grid-like structure that provides a counterpoint to the expressive painterly marks. The work developed through a sequence of material decisions, allowing the evolving surface to determine its direction.
Touched by Gold 1 is part of a series of triptychs constructed from repurposed fabrics sourced from a former textile factory in Barcelona. Vintage ticking, traditionally used for mattress upholstery, establishes the foundation of the work and remains visible beneath the gilded fabric, retaining a trace of the original material. Gold leaf transforms repurposed textiles, altering their visual and material qualities while allowing the original fabric to remain present within the composition. The gilded fabric was folded, cut, manipulated and reconfigured into a repetitive structure that provides a counterpoint to the layered paper surface. The three panels are suspended from a repurposed metal construction pole, also gilded, extending this process of transformation beyond the textile itself.

The works presents themselfs as a large, elongated ovoid shape, resembling a monumental vase or a vertical cocoon. The dark, opaque surface appears finely engraved with organic and vegetal motifs that intertwine throughout the sculpture. The structure is symmetrical and compact: the base is slightly narrower than the central part, which gently expands and then closes towards the upper opening, which is large and devoid of obvious ornamentation.
The engravings, barely perceptible from a distance, emerge with greater intensity under lateral light, revealing a dense network of lines that evoke leaves, roots, or stylized natural elements.
The shape recalls primordial archetypes: the seed, the egg, the womb. To symbolize a container of life or memory, an object that holds something invisible yet essential. The vegetal incisions suggest a profound connection with nature, as if the surface were traversed by an organic map, a web of vital energies radiating outward from the center. The choice of dark color reinforces the sense of interiority and mystery, while the monumentality of the form, despite its simplicity, conveys solidity and a silent presence. The work seems to invite contemplation: it does not impose itself with excessive detail, but entrusts its strength to the purity of the form and the discreet richness of the surface.

Saba Masoumian’s work introduces yet another dimension to this exploration of materiality and identity, characterized by a more fragmented and tactile approach. Her untitled 2020 sculpture, composed of polystyrene, plaster, resin, and found objects, exemplifies a process of accumulation and assemblage that resists formal coherence (Gallino, Saba, and Chiarucci). Unlike the controlled precision of Chiarucci or the balanced compositions of Gallino, Masoumian embraces irregularity and disruption, allowing meaning to emerge through the juxtaposition of disparate elements.
This approach can be understood in relation to her transnational background, which informs a practice rooted in hybridity and cultural negotiation. The use of found objects suggests an engagement with memory and displacement, as materials carry traces of prior contexts and histories (Gallino, Saba, and Chiarucci). By incorporating these elements into new configurations, Masoumian constructs a visual language that reflects the complexities of contemporary identity—particularly in a globalized world marked by movement and transformation.
Her work challenges traditional notions of aesthetic harmony, instead privileging tension and ambiguity. The rough textures and layered surfaces of her sculptures evoke processes of erosion and reconstruction, suggesting that identity is not a fixed entity but an ongoing negotiation between past and present. In this sense, Masoumian’s practice aligns with broader trends in contemporary art that emphasize process over product, and fragmentation over unity.

Amanda Chiarucci’s oeuvre is characterized by an extraordinary manipulation of paper, particularly through origami and Golden Venture techniques, which she elevates from craft to conceptual sculpture. Works such as *De Divina Natura* (2023), *Magma Cristallino*, and *Gemma* reveal a meticulous process of folding, assembling, and structuring that results in forms reminiscent of crystalline growth or biological morphogenesis (Gallino, Saba, and Chiarucci). The apparent contradiction between the fragility of paper and the solidity of the resulting forms underscores a central tension in her practice: the transformation of the ephemeral into the enduring. This tension is not merely formal but symbolic, reflecting processes of regeneration and resilience.

Chiarucci’s titles further reinforce these themes, particularly *Aedem Mutata Resurgo*, which evokes the idea of rebirth through transformation (Gallino, Saba, and Chiarucci). The Latin phrasing situates her work within a broader historical and philosophical discourse, suggesting continuity between classical notions of metamorphosis and contemporary explorations of identity. Although her earlier series focused explicitly on the female figure, the current works retain an implicit engagement with embodiment. The repetitive, almost ritualistic act of folding paper can be interpreted as a meditative practice, one that mirrors the processes of self-construction and redefinition. In this sense, Chiarucci’s sculptures operate as both physical objects and metaphors for the mutable nature of identity.

Theo Gallino’s work expands the dialogue between material and meaning through a more overt engagement with natural and industrial elements. His compositions, including the series *Insieme in un soffio* and works such as *Costellazione*, incorporate wood, iron, resin, and natural fibers to create assemblages that oscillate between structure and dispersion. These works often evoke networks or constellations, visualizing systems of connection that extend beyond the individual artwork.
Gallino’s practice is deeply informed by an awareness of environmental and social dynamics. The integration of materials such as bubble wrap—described in his biography as a metaphor for the emotional anesthesia of contemporary society—introduces a critical dimension that complicates the aesthetic experience. The juxtaposition of organic and synthetic materials reflects the increasingly blurred boundaries between nature and technology, while also commenting on the consequences of industrialization. His works suggest that identity is not an isolated construct but rather emerges through relationships—between individuals, materials, and environments.
The notion of interconnectedness is further emphasized by the recurring title *Insieme in un soffio*, which translates to “together in a breath”. This phrase encapsulates the fragility and immediacy of existence, implying that unity is both essential and precarious. Gallino’s compositions embody this duality, balancing elements that appear simultaneously cohesive and on the verge of disintegration. Through this tension, his work engages with the passage of time, the persistence of memory, and the capacity for adaptation in the face of change.

Obsessed with recycling for a deeply rooted green vision, they take away the paintings from the oblivion of the attics which they give back to life through the three-dimensional reinterpretation of the canvases, which are immersed in PMMA (rigorously recycled plastics), laser-cut into geometric shapes and recomposed so as to giving a new contemporary vision of the painting without making it lose its original identity. The moment of inclusion and cutting always remains an unpredictable unknown, because it is not known how the painting reacts to this chemical / thermal shock. The colors change hue or even become another, sometimes they mix, they rise, in turn creating micro worlds visible on the side (small sunsets, cities), sometimes the two parts detach and create ancient inlets. The artist enthusiastically welcomes these unpredictable changes, almost awaits them, they are a fundamental part of them work, they are messages that come from the history of the painting itself (materials used to paint such as glues, varnishes, type of color) and from time (crimping) . Sometimes these unpredictable events even change the initial project. Imperfection = perfection.
Some “geometric structures” often are made to accommodate natural light (green vision) which illuminates and intensifies, through the transparencies of the Plexiglas and the texture of the canvas, the brightness.
