On / Off is a work conceived for the first and second floors of the Gucci Garden in Florence. The two-part wall painting features below a darkened room where darkness is not perceived as a threat but as liberating protection and strength. Upstairs, the same scene is replicated, immersed in light to reveal its essence. On / Off is a narration that focuses on the relationships between individuals and the wealth of physical and emotional exchange.
Renaissance paintings inspired me to expose something that’s often neglected or handled superficially and bring much-needed focus to issues of sexuality and inclusivity.
