The artwork Sphere represents a symbolic and spiritual journey through the materials that compose it: gold, copper, and nickel-plated pins. Each element embodies a state of transition, an ascending movement from the earthly to the divine.
Nickel, cold and metallic, alludes to the beginning, the most material and mundane state—a starting point that grounds the connection to the earth. Copper, with its warmth and history of transformation, acts as a bridge, an intermediate element that reflects the process of transcendence, of rising toward the intangible. Finally, gold, a symbol of purity, eternity, and the sacred, crowns this progression as the spiritual culmination, the approach to the beyond.
In Sphere, the materials are not merely assembled but engage in a dialogue, creating a visual narrative that invites the viewer to reflect on their own journey toward the sacred: a voyage from the mundane to the eternal. The artwork becomes a mirror of humanity, its aspirations, and its search for connection with something greater.
