The artwork “Instant” is a captivating piece that successfully translates the philosophy of the “inhale exhibition” into a striking visual and tactile language. The choice of acrylic and plaster texture is a complete success, as the robust and three-dimensional materiality of the plaster confers an undeniable physical presence to the abstract concept of time and pause.
Visually, the work is an exercise in dynamic balance. The neutral, almost silent background is interrupted by that central splash of coral/pinkish color that acts like a heartbeat, like the irruption of life or emotion in a moment of stillness. This chromatic gesture is vital and full of energy.
The genius of the work lies in its ability to invite the viewer into a multisensory experience. The splashes and incised lines not only add controlled chaos and movement, but also appeal to touch, forcing a slow and meditative gaze. It is a piece that **transforms the simplicity of the act of breathing into an aesthetic revelation**, a tangible reminder of the beauty that resides in stopping and fully inhabiting the present. “Instant” successfully captures the essence of the ephemeral in a lasting and memorable way.
