AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Unique artwork made of wire, hemp pulp paper, collage, and gold leaf, with 120 LED light points inside.
The sculpture depicts an ethereal dress, modeled with bent iron wire outlining the essential contours of the garment as if it were suspended in the air. The lightweight structure acts as a transparent skeleton, within which the pulp of cotton paper, textured and irregular, covers some surfaces, creating a delicate play of solids and voids. The piece is illuminated from within: the light filters through the paper, spreading in a soft and warm manner, while the iron traces remain backlit, drawing a graphic pattern in the air. The result is a fragile and poetic object that evokes childhood memories and, at the same time, the precariousness of matter, transformed into a dress of light suspended between presence and absence.
Prepared to be wall-mounted, it is delivered in the appropriate packaging of stitched and printed jute bags and is accompanied by an authenticity certificate.
