Building Identities (2020)Oil painting
by Sofia Fresia

Is identity immutable? The person we are today is the same as six years ago, ten years ago? When and why did we change?

The painting stems from a reflection on the relationship between the concepts of Identity and Time, referring to the personal experience of a swimmer in order to fix a precise moment, describable and identifiable within the flow of existence. There is a direct reference to the theory of pointillism by Zygmunt Bauman related to the conception of Time in the contemporary world: painting is linked to the materiality of the fabric that makes ‘real’ that point otherwise incorporated in the texture of time.
