Càntaros
2024

While still working in Geneva at an international organization, I began creating a series of ceramics plates and prints that reminded me of my childhood. Since then, I knew that design was pointing toward something more. It eventually took the form of a light art mobile, reproducing that same design “Càntaros”. Originally conceived as a site-specific installation for a design festival, the work allowed me to explore the concepts of art and design, tradition and modernity, while infusing lightness and aesthetics.
