AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Unique work made of iron wire, cotton paper pulp, collage, and gold leaf, with 120 LED light points inside each apple. It occupies a space of 60 cm in length and has a diameter of approximately 30 cm.
The sculpture depicts two apples, modeled with cooked iron wire that outlines their essential contours. The lightweight structure acts as a transparent skeleton, inside 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 poetic and highly decorative object that emits a warm, enveloping light into the environment.
The piece is delivered in the appropriate packaging, in sewn and printed jute bags, and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The packaging is in a rigid cardboard box.
