The bronze works from the Cocoons series are small sculptures created with the precious support of the Versiliese Artistic Foundry of Pietrasanta. They were made with the ancient technique of casting lost wax bronze. The smaller works were obtained by making casts from natural cocoons of large beetles from Sub-Saharan Africa. The larger spiral cocoon sculpture was created by modelling a clay shape that resembled the shapes of the royal cocoons, on a larger scale. The interior of the sculptures is polished and mirrored, the exterior is left raw and treated with patina of different colors. The idea behind the project was to recreate an archetypal form that represented the concept of metamorphosis, starting from a natural and real model. The fragility typical of the cocoon has thus been replaced by a durable and solid material, creating a subtle play between the ephemeral organic body and the material solidity of bronze. These cocoons are secret rooms where the most radical change that exists in nature takes place: metamorphosis, a programmed combination, destruction, and growth. We are not obliged to see this mysterious evolution it can only be imagined. At our eyes there are only forms that allude to metaphors of birth, change and abandonment.
