Curated by Fabrizio Pizzuto, the exhibition features young artists and curators from the Rome University of Fine Arts, RUFA. It invites the public to explore the possibilities of representation by blending real and virtual images with personal memories.

Beyond the Infinite | Mirror sheet, ink on acetate, nail, and natural light | 2024

To become resistant, I had to become vulnerable.

Driven by a passion for understanding and expressing human feelings through art, the project “Beyond the Infinite” emerged.

Symbolizes the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. It portrays the journey of fragmentation and reconstruction, highlighting the beauty of emerging whole from brokenness. Through this exhibit, I am keen to honor the resilience inherent in the human experience, showcasing the transformative power of overcoming pain and emerging stronger on the other side.

“I said: What about my eyes?

He said: Keep them on the road.

“I said: What about my passion?

He said: Keep it burning.

“I said: What about my heart?

He said: Tell me what you hold inside it.

I said: Pain and sorrow?

He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the light enters you.”

COUNTERPROOF | RUFA Space | Rome, Italy | 2024

. ‘Counterproof’ is a technique where a print is taken from a freshly printed image, rather than from the original matrix. This method uses the print itself as the source, questioning the nature of the original. The artists in this exhibition metaphorically ‘break’ traditional printmaking to reveal unique identities through proof and coun- terproof. Their works explore dimensions and perspectives, peeling away outer layers to uncover the essence of personhood beyond physical form. Like coun- terproofs, these artworks separate identity from the physical body, seeking the profound essence of human existence.

The Unseen Gates | Photoprint on paper, soft-ground etching on silk

paper (120 x 80 cm) silk 150 x 50 cm

Across ancient cultures, Mother Earth has always been revered. Drawing inspiration from the mythological figures of Sepandarmazd in ancient Iran and Tellus in ancient Rome, this printmaking installation highlights how the significant value of Mother Nature, celebrated in ancient cultures, has been concealed and neglected in the modern age.

This project aims to illustrate the essence of feminine energy by juxtaposing traditional and contemporary artistic mediums. It employs techniques such as etching and contemporary photoprint methods, combining traditional motifs with loose, expressive drawings to invite viewers into a state of harmony. This harmony, often hidden from view, is revealed through contrasts.

The artwork emphasizes the resilience and growth of women despite societal restrictions. Mother Nature, symbolizing feminine energy, is depicted as being constrained by traditional motifs on a curtain, concealing the mother tree behind it. This visual metaphor underscores the hidden power and potential of women, urging viewers to recognize and celebrate their feminine strength and growth
