Ferruzzi
After working on *Microdisegni* and stripping images down to their essentials, I wanted to shift into something more sculptural. The choice of the base creates the framework that places the work in a context appropriate to it. I start with a single line, and from there, the shapes just come to life. The figures look as if they’re frozen mid-movement or about to set off, driven purely by the line that defines their form.
Like in *Microdisegni*, it’s all about reduction, finding an archetype of movement in each metallic silhouette. These forms are like agile athletes or tightrope walkers, pushing the limits of balance and physical possibility. They’re only "bodies" in the way they capture motion—a kind of “graphic” sculpture that tells the story of a figure who wants to lift off, arms stretching like wings, legs floating, always in delicate balance. The *Ferruzzi* series is my take on human figures as plastic, wire-like variations. They’re like arrows of motion, shooting through the air, just barely held back by a single, defining line.
