Descrizione
This sculpture, which is composed of clay or terracotta and resembles a loaf of bread, has sharp razor blades inserted vertically. A contrast between fragility and danger is suggested by the inclusion of sharp objects along with a natural material that is connected to the soil and domesticity. The blades arouse feelings of dormant violence, as though a familiar thing suddenly becomes threatening. The piece can allude to the dangers concealed behind the seeming calm or the unseen conflicts in daily life. The piece is unsettling and thought-provoking because to the materials used and the straightforward yet sharp designs that enhance the emotional impact.
