CONCEPT

FROM THE 3D SCAN OF THE CLASSIC SCULPTURE MADE BY GIAN LORENZO BERNINI, THE RAPE OF PROSERPINA: WE HAVE EXTRACTED THE TIGHT YET TENDER GRIP OF PLUTO, SQUEEZING PROSERPINA’S VOLUPTUOUS BODY, A GESTURE AT THE CROSSROAD BETWEEN AFFECTION AND VIOLENCE.

FOR OUR OTHER FRIEZE, THE SCULPTURAL MASTERPIECE PIETA, MADE IN 1499 BY MICHELANGELO, WE FOCUSE ON THE LIFELESS BODY OF JESUS, HELD BY THE VIRGIN MARY.
