Salvatore Alibrio - Unboxing

The artwork 'Unboxing,' made of terracotta and hand-painted with acrylic colors, is a fascinating and evocative sculpture, characterized by an intense blue face emerging from a torn cardboard box. The face, rendered realistically, expresses a strong emotional charge, inviting the viewer to reflect on their feelings. The blue tone of the face creates a striking contrast with the beige background, composed of a mix of textures and shapes. The surface is irregular, almost as if the face is trying to break through a barrier, evoking themes of freedom and struggle. This sculpture symbolizes the search for authenticity and the vulnerability of the individual in the face of external pressures. The element of rupture and the play of colors make the work visually captivating and deeply evocative.
