The work is a reflection about victory, and analyses through visual suggestions its two key aspects: goals and trails. I think we live in an era in which we represent ourself through the social network only as winners, so I imagined creating this great showcase of black and white, strange trophies, using only fragments of other people victories.
This second part of the work is a real fitness path I realized with an architecture studio: an impassable golden gym, a suitable space for mind training. The installation will be assembled with a series of gold-coated - 24K - brass sculptures/links, retrieving shapes and materials from the visually-emptied trophies.
