I push a finger into my eyes (kiss, kick, kiss)

2025 - 2021

"I push a finger into my eyes (kiss, kick, kiss)" is a series of sculptures in which a multilayer glass case contains and protects (kiss) the explosion of a firecracker (kick): a sort of fragile monument to precariousness.

Infinite fall (floating)
Hey there you looking for a brighter season
Goosebumps
Lemonade
Tonight (alive and kicking)
No more blue tomorrows (spit)
No more blue tomorrows (gatekeepers)
No more blue tomorrows (cloak)
Whistle and I will come to you
Tonight
Father forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing
FENOMENO (Smiley)
I push a finger into my eyes (kiss, kick, kiss)
