Materials: stainless steel. Despair_ the work represents the moment in which hope seems to disappear. At the center of the composition, a distorted human structure emerges from a steel basin filled with water. Beneath the transparent surface of the water, the metal figure shows clear signs of oxidation. The rust hidden under the water becomes a metaphor for the emotional states that individuals attempt to conceal. Paradoxically, water acts as a revealing element rather than a concealing one. The posture of the figure expresses a silent and inward form of despair, not explosive, but suspended; almost immobilized. Through this composition, the work invites the observer to confront a deeply introspective question:how do we relate to moments in which every apparent exit seems to vanish? with a_hopeless_man_, the human_traces_ series concludes its emotional trajectory, moving from observation of human vulnerability to the confrontation with the absence of hope itself. The work was exposed in piacenza during the exhibition pensare con le mani from 13 septembre 2025 to 26 novembre 2025. See less
