The Force That Moves​

Shipping cardboard and glue

This sculpture is made by gluing together pieces of shipping cardboard. Its form is inspired by the traditional Sicilian cart (carretto siciliano), an ornate and colorful horse-drawn cart native to Sicily that has become a cultural symbol of the island.

The work was created while I was planning to leave Sicily, and it reflects a desire for movement, transition, and exploration beyond my native land.
