Assalt

What is essential in moderation becomes deadly in its excess overtime, as salt water is administered, through the same vessel that crystallized processes and time. The cups in their preserved wilderness project the designs clouded by their salt forms; as they rest on an artificial base in which their legs grow.

The artist emphasizes the ambivalence between social and cultural sustainability by proposing a different value of these collector ornamental cups. Through the manipulation of the six cups – which are characterized by a strong cultural heritage – she conveys the fragility of nature and things that easily submit to the destructive/constructive power of man. In this piece exists that of cultural awareness towards nature, referring to the forced insertion and to the preservation of a natural, and fragile, element, the salt, in a cultural setting, the cups.
