"Let her become woman"
The work was inspired by the plight of child brides, a global scourge that affects several countries of the world. . Each year, 15 million girls are married before the age of 18. That is 28 girls every minute – married off too soon, endangering their personal development and wellbeing. With more young people on our planet than ever before, child marriage is a human rights violation that we must end to achieve a fairer future for all.
Many are those who fight against the marriage union between children and adults. Among these it should be mentioned Kriti Bharti, who thanks to his charity organization "Saarthi Trust", has been able to ensure the setting aside 29 marriages and helped in the rehabilitation over 6 thousand children and more than 5 thousand women.
Monochrome is part of a series of works focused on the exploration of color in all its components and inferences.
The installation is structured on three levels, each dedicated to a color. The choice of black, white and red was dictated by my passion for these colors that evoke a multitude of contrasting references, in agreement or in continuation with each other.
Since the purpose of the work was to focus the attention emotional - mental on color I chose to use like almost exclusive form the cube-modulated transparency and shadows, entering at the same time the elements that we can define noise, clarifiers, complementary, subordinate depending on your point of view that they can assume for each.
The invitation, then, is to experience the different possibilities of light and ambience offering the virtual world. Single color it takes on different aspects and nuances almost endless and the effects increase and multiply, creating a restless disorientation.
But is
heaviness truly deplorable and lightness splendid?
The heaviest of burdens
crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground.
But in the love
poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man’s body. The
heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously the image of life’s most
intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the
earth, the more real and truthful they become.
Conversely, the absolute absence
of a burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into heights, take leave
of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as
free as they are insignificant.
What then shall we choose? Weight or
lightness?
