Original artwork description
Magma is a work that evokes the primordial force of transformation, the inner energy of matter in its most vibrant and incandescent state.
Composed of around 4,500 tobacco sticks, the work is created from waste material – a by-product that has served its purpose and is destined for disposal.
The chromatic transition from red to orange immediately brings to mind the colours of fire and molten matter, evoking the image of magma: a substance in constant motion, unstable, generative, capable of both destroying and creating. The fragmented pattern of the work amplifies this perception, bringing out an internal vibration, as if the entire composition were permeated by an expanding heat.
In *Magma*, waste is not simply reclaimed, but restored to a symbolic state of maximum activation. What was once exhausted matter becomes, once more, force, intensity and presence. The work thus reflects on the possibility of rebirth: not a pacified transformation, but a living, profound, almost telluric process, in which the residue is charged with new energy and regenerates itself into an aesthetic form.
The work establishes a dialogue between the concepts of consumption and creation, demonstrating how even that which appears to have run its course may harbour latent power. Magma thus becomes an image of a material which, whilst originating from waste, begins to pulsate once more as a primal element: fiery, dynamic, vital.
