"Inter Mundos" - Monica Faverio
Glass and rope 300 x 300 x 30 mm

"The name of the piece is in Latin: Inter Mundos (Between Worlds, in English). The apparent simplicity of the piece is assumed, in opposition to the complexity of the basic theme. The visible and the invisible, the mortal and the immortal — the eternal diatribe. The glass with its translucent transparency represents the two worlds, separated and united at the same moment — the experiential state and the mortal state (glassy state)."
