Mill-Ħafna sad-Difna (2018)
Lazuli Art Gallery, Victoria, Gozo
Trees.
What trees?
This project was instigated by the sad situation where a great number of trees were sacrificed due to construction of roads, apartments and bad pruning. Trunks from the actual trees that suffered this slaughter were used in this body of work, letting them dictate the final form of the sculptures. Again, there is the contrast between the organic and the manmade - a dichotomy which is addressed frequently in my work.
Pieces from this series include: Ħafnu 1 1 , Ħafnu 2, Keffnu 2 1, Keffnu 2 and Difnu 3. [1 they seized, 2 they shrouded, 3 they buried]
