From the Stars was born from the restlessness to unveil the invisible in the material realm, leading to multiple questions about the act of seeing that culminated in the colour blue, considered the most profound and immaterial colour.
The blue perception was explored in different mediums chasing an absence presence, the “presenting of the unpresentable” as described by Jean-François Lyotard. The cosmic space is brought to a familiar ground and the colour singularities draw into a movement towards the infinite, resonating reminiscences of a primordial blue. The stars awaken a certain reverence, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote. They are always present and inaccessible at the same time and all natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence.
