ONUFRI XXI SiO2 – The Reason of Fragility"
I try to find a material that I feel when I stand in front of him. I try to stay without studying the nature of it, but just to feel his call. With glass, I try to be one, but he is unable to believe me. I want to say STOP, it is perfect, but It is supple and limitless, in what he offers. I try to feel physically, but it stays cold, I take courage and immediately he appears fragile, delicate, clear, deep. I feel as if I have found that which I asked of him, but only for a few moments it truly seems like a mirage.
Then I feel that this material is very far willingness to serve us as an example of ideal forms. He stands on the side of truth, where the ideal form closes. He stays there for value, that the unthinkable, for life, light, and night which comes after this moment. It is clear that to speak about this material (glass) is excessive to pretend to understand why you have this or that sensation.
Everyone wants to explain it according sincere truth, that will feel inside without knowing how. It’s light, it was penetrating inside it and stays so nonexistent before us, but at the same time very real. It is this light that enters within us but not evaluated and not so clearly reflects the unique value, hopeful and vital having the soul. Perhaps this game of light with glass, makes me feel real, in what I am, not what I appear. It is this reflection that gives positive value thoughts and makes me be one with sincere spirit and served in front of this material that does not close its depth in mass but continues to play as me and the light which extends the cults that do not rely on theories and perspectives, shape, color, coloristic sound, the idea.
Glass simply allows us to understand that he gives that which has its deepest.
