<- this is not an exclusive trait of the pieces seen in isolation. Placed
together, as in the series of triple spheres joined by two arms, we can
also imagine them in solitary existence, a powerful presence in the
corner of a room, or as a crowd of sculptures that multiply themselves,
covering a wide expanse of outdoor space. in this complex of articulated
sculptures there is a strong manifestation of collective existence that
entails no loss of the characteristics of each individual. that is why
they are not modules that are joined as parts to make up a whole:
each element has an autonomous reality of its own.
by its very nature, the shape of the sphere suggests movement. the
ball demands to roll or fly, on a soccer field, on a tennis court, on a
billiard table or even in cosmic space. a sphere at rest seems to be
in expectation of the force that will move it from one state of inertia
to another.
