Lunecy and Liberation

Piece painted in acrylic in lambda print and Swarovski crystal

Lunecy and Liberation” is a work that transcends the utilitarian function of the piece of furniture.

The title, a play on words between lunacy and liberation, suggests a state of ecstasy that can be both a delirium and an experience of emancipation. The presence of the full moon at the top of the composition reinforces the connection with mysticism and feminine cycles, referring to archetypes of lunar deities and ancestral ritual dances.
The bodies, overlapping and intertwined, create a dynamic visual rhythm, while the hair adorned with circular patterns and subtle lines evokes constellations. The black background intensifies this cosmic atmosphere, making the bodies luminous.
The duality between chaos and harmony, madness and liberation, is present in the way the figures spread out, some seeming to glide smoothly, while others twist like a whirlwind. This collective movement is a metaphor for the fight for freedom.
More than a functional object, “Lunecy and Liberation” proposes a visual and emotional experience, challenging the notion of space and transcending the materiality of the closet. It is an invitation to imagination and reflection on the limits between the body, the mind and the universe.
