"Despite thought" is the title of a series of works born from the simple desire to work with that decomposed lightness, that freedom and rhythmic chaos that the space, where everything has taken shape, has suggested to me. It is an intuitive work: thought remains suspended, doing is faster, it overtakes it without asking too many questions.
When action and its speed prevail, the call of material seduces all the senses and invites you to an aimless pilgrimage. Donata Negrini
