La Gioconda is transformed into a fluid image, sucked into a vortex that distills its visual essence. From the center of the motion emerges a real faucet that pierces the canvas, from which a golden drop descends: the final “concentrate” of the icon.

The work dialogizes the myth of classical art with a contemporary and industrial aesthetic, suggesting that even the most famous images can be disassembled, extracted, and reformulated into a new matter.
Shipping is insured. The package is carefully packed, the drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand), in order to ensure a safer shipment.

The canvas work 350 g is mounted on a wooden frame, the faucet is iron, the drop is resin with a ferro core, frame not included.
