Metamorfosi
Multimedia installation
Metamorphosis is a multimedia installation that explores the complexities of cultural identity, fragmentation, and the blending of traditions in the era of globalization. The artwork draws inspiration from the artist’s personal history and the media philosophy of Canadian theorist Marshall McLuhan, particularly his concept of the global village.
At the center of the installation is a chess match, an element deeply connected to my biography. Within this simple yet highly symbolic game, the personal and the national converge.

During the installation, viewers were invited to play a game of chess; however, before we began, I asked them to think about the color of their culture and dip their fingers into paints to leave their mark on the board and the pieces.
