Sotto tensione

Quest'opera trasmette un fragile equilibrio tra resistenza e sfinimento, riflettendo attentamente sull'esperienza autistica di contenere e mantenere la calma sotto sforzo costante. La tensione nelle forme allungate rappresenta la silenziosa resilienza e la forza necessarie per mantenere la compostezza.
