Un'Elegia in Ceramica per i Mari
L'opera di Federico Alibrio, intitolata "Hydrated wreck", non è una semplice riproduzione, ma una potente meditazione artistica sull'impatto ecologico dell'uomo. L'artista ha scelto di immortalare in ceramica un oggetto banale e ubiquo: la busta di plastica, simbolo tristemente noto della cultura dell'usa e getta e dell'inquinamento da microplastiche che soffoca gli oceani.

L'oggetto rappresentato, una borsa della spesa stropicciata, porta con sé un'intrinseca tensione concettuale. Nata per un uso effimero, qui viene elevata a reperto archeologico del nostro tempo. La ceramica, un materiale millenario, durevole e spesso associato a forme d'arte nobili o utensili da cucina tradizionali, contrasta violentemente con la leggerezza tossica del polietilene che imita. Questa scelta materica conferisce alla borsa una permanenza e un peso che la plastica reale non dovrebbe mai avere, sottolineando ironicamente come il rifiuto, destinato a disintegrarsi (in microplastiche nocive), sia invece diventato una realtà ineliminabile e duratura nel nostro ambiente.
Cromatismi e Riflessi: La Bellezza Tossica
L'uso dello smalto bianco e, in particolare, del lustro madreperla (o lustro iridescente) è la chiave di volta estetica e concettuale dell'opera.
 * Bianco Inquietante: Il bianco perlato e quasi marmoreo non solo evoca la purezza ingannatrice del materiale plastico vergine, ma richiama anche le ossa sbiancate o i coralli morenti. La borsa assume l'aspetto di un fossile moderno, un resto minerale estratto da un mare ormai saturo.
 * Lustro Madreperla: Il trattamento iridescente trasforma la superficie della plastica stropicciata in qualcosa di meravigliosamente cangiante. Questo effetto evoca le lucentezze oleose che a volte si vedono sulla superficie dell'acqua inquinata, o forse l'illusoria bellezza che la natura cerca di conferire a materiali estranei. Il luccichio è ambiguo: è la riflessione del sole sull'acqua cristallina che vorremmo, oppure il bagliore metallico di un inquinante? Questa "bellezza tossica" ci seduce esteticamente pur rappresentando un monito ecologico. L'iridescenza, tipica dei gusci marini e delle perle, viene qui trasferita su un simbolo di distruzione marina, creando un'amara e complessa elegia.

Quest'opera è un "memento mori" contemporaneo, un invito a riflettere sulla nostra impronta ecologica. Alibrio non si limita a denunciare l'inquinamento; egli lo sacralizza in modo critico. Trasformando il rifiuto in un oggetto d'arte prezioso e lucente, costringe l'osservatore a confrontarsi con la paradossale presenza di questa "spazzatura" nella nostra vita e nei nostri ecosistemi.
 * L'opera suggerisce che la plastica è ormai così radicata da aver assunto, suo malgrado, lo status di un elemento naturale o quasi mitologico del futuro, un "relitto" che i posteri ritroveranno.
 * L'iscrizione visibile in una delle immagini (sebbene parzialmente leggibile) rafforza l'idea che l'oggetto non è anonimo, ma è un prodotto marcato, un residuo della nostra civiltà del consumo.
In sintesi, la scultura è un ossimoro visivo: un rifiuto reso prezioso per evidenziarne l'eccessiva e disastrosa permanenza, un gioiello tossico che funge da monito per la salute dei nostri oceani.

L'opera è realizzata in ceramica e ceramizzata con smalti ed effetti differenti.  
Sul retro è presente un foro per poter essere attaccata a parete. Verrà spedita in un accurato imballaggio e con relativo certificato di autenticità. 

L'artista siciliano Federico Alibrio nato nel 1995 è sempre alla ricerca di ispirazione per crescere con nuove esperienze.

Diplomato in Scultura nel 2021 all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Catania, si occupa di scultura e pittura. Ha partecipato e partecipa a mostre e simposi di alto profilo culturale, dimostrando impegno e serietà nell’affrontare la pratica scultorea.

"Le persone di mentalità aperta trovano ispirazione ovunque" è uno dei suoi approcci filosofici.

La realtà stessa è la più grande fonte di ispirazione. La sua passione sono: gli animali selvatici (sensibile alle specie in via d'estinzione) e gli alberi. 
Il suo obiettivo è esibire la bellezza della natura.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
