CORDA
Bronze, 250 x 5 x 4 cm, unique piece, 2024
Corda is presented as a monumental 2.5-meter bronze braid, suspended between sky and earth in a delicate balance that suggests the in-between, the threshold. Inspired by the umbilical cord, this piece symbolizes the first union between mother and fetus—an original, vital, and foundational bond.
Within an artistic practice centered on the disarticulation of the body, the displacement of its parts, and the representation of the gestating body as both sacred and profane territory, Corda emerges as a contemporary ex-voto. The braid—an organic and archaic form—evokes both the ancestral and the spiritual: it is at once an offering and a reliquary, a suspended relic marking the boundary between the corporeal and the divine.
The work’s suspension reinforces its liminal nature: it is neither anchored to the earth nor fully surrendered to the sky. In this way, it becomes a symbol of that suspended moment in which life is formed, where the human and the sacred are inseparably intertwined.
