Delicacy finds its space.
La Colombe Vivante — digital presentation of the project.
Original record of the dial's development.
CURATORIAL NOTE
A small flight interrupts the silence of the black dial.
The dove concentrates attention within a restrained area of the composition. The surrounding emptiness has a purpose: to let the figure breathe. The motion suggested by the wings enters into dialogue with the future movement of the hands.
The project begins with a repurposed bank card used as the support for the dial, carrying a screen-printed dove. An object associated with circulation and consumption comes to sustain an image of pause.
The process photograph records the dial inside the case, still without hands. The digital presentation explores the metallic reading of the dove and the gold ensemble. The intended finish is not presented here as a stage already completed.
ABOUT THIS RECORD
Images are shown without cropping or retouching. Digital presentations express a visual intention; process photographs document a specific stage of development. A concept should not be mistaken for a finished piece.
