About
My name is Ilaria, and I was born in Italy in the province of Rome. I believe that my distinctive trait is the ability to express social and naturalistic aspects through my personal experiences in an artistic and experimental way. For several years, I have had a deep interest in environmental sustainability. I believe that the artistic side of each person can make an important contribution to new generations and is a fundamental basis for a progressive vision centered on collective ideals. My work is not just a reflection of an aesthetic ideal, but it seeks to give voice and shape to a common sentiment. I believe that everyone’s work is important, and I genuinely hope that the effort I’ve put in over these years can be a message of hope. I love art, sociology, literature, and the symbolic details of life. My fighting spirit lives on in my projects, breaking down established rules, prejudices, and limits that never stopped me from realizing my environmental and social ambitions.
The MOM project unfolds as the graphical and conceptual scenario of a personal inner journey, dreamlike images stemming from the exploration of the positive and negative aspects of individual existence, culminating in a metamorphosis. The metamorphosis unfolds through the alchemical" from crame process, an ancient practice referring to the transmutation of metals, projected in the pursuit of the elixir of long life. Alchemists believed that through the execution of certain rituals and the understanding of the mysterious principles of nature, it was possible to transform matter into nobler forms. The different states of matter, involved in the alchemical process are distinguished into various phases, including the plasmatic phase, where the fundamental elements of matter are completely decomposed and recombined to create something new and profoundly transformative. Alchemists argued that the transmutation process of metals also reflected the internal transformation tros came process of human beings, leading to the purification and enlightenment of the soul, bringing forth old thought patterns, beliefs, and identities, breaking them down and transmuting them into new forms of understanding. In this way, alchemical creation leads to the birth of a new reality, a new understanding of self and the surrounding world. The design work is divided into two phases of inner metamorphosis, where a material transmutation process establishes an identity transformation. The project structure, however, will guide the narrative through the psychology of the alchemist himself, who will explore the sociological approach through a short film, reflecting the psychic regression that will influence the process. The topic discussed will be recontextualized through the study of metagenealogy, psychomagic, and the sociological effects that act on family units.
