UNTIL THE RAIN WASHES IT AWAY

MIXED-MEDIA & UP-CYCLED SCULPTURE (2026)

Medium: Upcycled wire mesh, recycled cans, glass jar lids, mosaic mirror fragments, mastic, glue, acrylic paint, rhinestones, glitter, and lamp stand.

Dimensions: Sculptural installation (approx. 115 × 60 × 60 cm; dragonfly wingspan approx. 60 cm)

Exhibitions & Presentations: Assembled Reality curated by Rika Maja Duevel, Museum Night Amsterdam / Treehouse NDSM (Amsterdam, NL, Nov 2026)

Status: Private collection (registered as an official PokéStop in Pokémon GO)

Concept Statement:

Created for Museum Night Amsterdam, Until the Rain Washes It Away materializes an anti-machine ritual born from food remnants and recycled materials from the kitchen. The sculpture embodies the delicate balance of a dragonfly's double life, existing half in water and half soaring in the air.

Its wings of pure wire mesh appear fragile yet resilient against the textured, metallic body, while mosaic mirror fragments rest exclusively on its eyes to see and reflect shifting lights and shadows. Standing as a gentle, living force of nature, the creature bridges the gap between discarded everyday matter and organic grace.

Like rain and flowing water that wash away heavy thoughts, the work invites viewers to slow down, embrace transformation, let go of emotional weight, and trust in the quiet power of renewal.

the wardrobe of lost seasons

Interactive Spatial Sanctuary & Cabinet of Curiosities (2025)

Medium: Repurposed wooden wardrobe, internal lighting, paper butterflies, mandarin peel mushrooms, packaging jellyfish, coffee filter foliage, food-dyed textiles, coffee clay, botanical preserves, and harvested community workshop remnants

Dimensions: Full-scale wardrobe spatial installation (approx. 120 × 200 × 60 cm)

Exhibitions & Presentations: Temporarily Out of Space, Treehouse NDSM (Amsterdam, NL, Nov 2025)

Status: Permanent archive

Concept Statement:

Created as the culmination of the Creative Garden 2025 community initiative, Wardrobe of Lost Seasons is an immersive cabinet of curiosity and sanctuary for imagination. Reflecting on moments of displacement, climate disorientation, and shifting seasonal rhythms, the work explores how creativity acts as a form of slow resistance and environmental resilience.

Housed inside a glowing, full-scale repurposed wardrobe, every single material originates from discarded matter: mandarin peels transformed into sculpted mushrooms, leftover packaging reborn as translucent jellyfish, coffee grounds turned into clay, and coffee filters crafted into foliage. Incorporating ecoprinted cloths, botanical preserves, and traces from community workshops, the installation serves as a portal into a parallel, dreamlike ecosystem built entirely from what the world no longer values—inviting viewers to rediscover the childlike ability to imagine new worlds inside forgotten objects.

100TH WINDOW

Sculptural Light Installation (2015)

Medium: Reused plastic cups, multicolor LED system, photographs by Francesco D’Argento, reflective surface elements, flexible duct tubing, vintage rubber boot, and floor tile

Dimensions: Approx. 160 × 60 × 50 cm

Exhibitions & Presentations: Sarpi Bridge – Oriental Design Week / Milano Design Week (Milan, IT, 2015)

Status: Private collection / Exhibition archive

Concept Statement:

100th Window is a full-scale spatial sculpture constructed entirely from discarded industrial and domestic items. Grounded by a ceramic tile and an old rubber boot, a flexible ventilation tube rises into an insect-like entity topped with two glowing compound eyes.

The installation confronts the viewer with a hybrid, non-human presence that challenges self-perception. One eye, lined with reflective surfaces, returns a distorted and blurred image of the observer, while the second eye, illuminated by an internal multicolor LED circuit, houses impressionistic photo fragments of Milan’s urban landscape. By contrasting human imperfection with the complex architecture of insect vision, 100th Window invites us to look past surface appearances and glimpse the unseen fragments of poetic light beneath the city’s concrete skin.

the breath of nature

Multisensory Food & Spatial Installation (2024)

Medium: Living organic fruits, whole grains, sculpted raw wood elements, dry ice mist effect, and zero-waste edible components

Dimensions: Site-specific spatial installation

Exhibitions & Presentations: Opening of Art Park II: Voice of Nature, Treehouse NDSM (Amsterdam, NL, 2024)

Status: Site-specific performance archive / Zero-waste circular project

Concept Statement:

Presented during the opening of Art Park II: Voice of Nature at Treehouse NDSM, The Breath of Nature was a multisensory food installation created as a living tribute to the Earth’s vitality. At the center of the space stood a dynamic composition of fresh fruits, grains, and raw sculpted wooden elements, enveloped in a gentle layer of dry ice fog that introduced an atmosphere of mystery and quiet reverence.

Merging spatial design with plant-based gastronomy, the installation operated on a strict zero-waste philosophy. As soon as the opening event concluded, every single edible component of the artwork was taken directly to the kitchen and transformed into food—leaving zero waste behind and turning the spatial intervention into a complete, circular celebration of sustainability and interconnection.

cocoon

Sculptural Lighting Installation (2015)

Medium: Sculpted dried organic food scraps, recycled materials, low-consumption multicolor LED spotlight, and photo installation by Francesco D'Argento

Dimensions: Variable dimensions

Exhibitions & Presentations: Sarpi Bridge – Oriental Design Week / Milano Design Week (Milan, IT, 2015)

Status: Private collection / Exhibition archive

Concept Statement:

Created for Oriental Design Week during Milano Design Week 2015, Cocoon is a sculptural table lamp and spatial installation shaped from dried kitchen waste and upcycled materials. Enclosing a low-consumption multicolor LED light, the cave-like shell transforms organic remnants into a protective, glowing vessel—evoking a spider guarding its cocoon until hatching.

Through continuous chromatic shifts that simulate the passage of hours, minutes, and seconds, neon hues illuminate the hidden cracks of the organic surface. Conceived on the threshold of Expo Milano 2015, Cocoon functions as a metaphysical reflection on urban evolution, mutation, and hope, questioning what remains after the momentum of major global events and issuing a call to reclaim spaces, infrastructure, and life cycles without waste.
