The iron, which is the main material of this installation, transmit a striking criticism of human relations, mostly superficial, in contemporary society. The images inside the iron boards are of naked bodies, treated to appear dissolving: portraits of human beings that no longer have a stable personality traits, desperately trying to establish their partnerships. The invasion of bodies by the steel harpoon is a hunting metaphor: in today's world individuals focus on a quantity of relationships, although less meaningful and less satisfying. In this exhaustive hunting, individuals inevitably end up hurting each other.
