The Sea of Ice
2018
Exhibition Ruins of Future Utopia, Eugster || Belgrade, Serbia
Laser engraved glass, aluminum, 100 x 70 x 1.5 cm
By transposing a linear drawing of an on oil on canvas painting The Sea of Icealso called The Wreck of Hope by the German painter Caspar David Friedrich and engraving it in glass, I am creating an illusion of an image that floats and seems to avoid precise analysis. This work is an homage to Romanticism, a movement that glorified the attitude towards the past in a specific way, through the ideal of “poetic truth”, which metaphorically connects all of the works included in the exhibition Ruins of Future Utopia.
