Scarabei

— 08 April 2025

Site-specific installation at Giopato & Coombes Gallery

Nature follows invisible rules, creating pure forms, spontaneous structures, and organisms that seem to stretch into infinity. Scarabei is born from observing these processes, exploring the relationship between repetition and freedom, diversity and uniqueness.

It was envisioned a luminous organism in continuous expansion, as if resulting from a natural process. Not mere aesthetics, but material that follows the laws of symbiosis and interdependence. The experimentation began with the material: concave dome-shaped elements, individually cast in aluminum using the ancient sand-casting technique. Each piece, unique and textural, retains the marks of the artisan’s gesture, as if sculpted by time.

The luminous clusters are not mere shapes but bodies —like the iridescent, full forms of scarabei (scarabs)—growing and shifting in space. Each unique, born from the encounter between invisible geometry and nature’s organic spontaneity.
Light does more than illuminate: it propagates fluidly, in symbiosis with the material, evoking a vital energy that animates every surface. Thus, Scarabei becomes more than a lamp: a fragment of nature, a luminous ecosystem that breathes within the space, engaging in a continuous dialogue with the observer.
