Falena d’Oro 1, 2019 

Egyptian Marble, 90cm x 63cm x 3.5cm

Falena d’Oro 2, 2019

Egyptian Marble, 100cm x 70cm x 4cm

Here the moth is like an origami folded piece of paper. Yet the surface bears marks and scratches alluding to it being a tender shield on the wall, before being the delicate creature of the night.
