In this work created on aluminum, Fausto Borge explores the material as a territory. The surface, worked with a blowtorch, reveals a network of imprints, craters and reliefs that seem to have been sculpted by fire and time.
The metallic nuances — oscillating between bronze, deep grey and golden reflections — give the piece an almost mineral presence, like a fragment of fossilized bark or the Earth's surface seen very closely.
Light glides over the hollows and bumps, animating the texture and revealing unexpected details with every glance.
This powerful work embodies the tension between destruction and creation, a recurring theme in Borge's artistic research.
