Title:Al Dente – Ode alla Semplicità
Year: 2024
Material: Epoxy resin, pasta (fusilli)
Dimensions: Ø 36 cm × 5 cm
Al Dente – Ode alla Semplicità is a playful homage to Italian culture, its passion for the everyday, and the art of discovering beauty in the ordinary. Encased in crystal-clear epoxy resin, simple pasta transforms into an aesthetic pattern of movement, rhythm, and texture. The spiraling fusilli resemble frozen waves— a culinary still life balanced between irony and sincerity.
The work deliberately blurs the boundary between design object, everyday item, and art. It questions what we consider “aesthetically valuable” and reminds us that cultural identity often resides in the smallest things—sometimes even in a handful of pasta. Al Dente is therefore not only a wink of humor but also a tribute to craftsmanship, pleasure, and the poetry of the mundane.
