In the engravings made by Michela Mascarucci, the imagined reality takes over, you can see, wander through paths that visually narrate an experience of the world through interior architecture, where the signs become vibrations of a flow of condensed and tarnished time. The image is given as a set of lacerations and wounds, forming geographies of lights and shadows, emerging from contact with a small part of existence, in the journey of sensations between ideal cities and unknown unreal, where everything is always tirelessly reinterpreted, analyzed and gutted. Human time slows down and leaves room for flaking and reconstructing light of spaces and shapes, a true guide and companion of travel: it dialogues outside the known structures, in a continuous ritual, for the purpose of an individual awareness within a society that lives increasingly connected but increasingly divided, aimed at making it enter into communication, teeming, within the same space, in the same story of salvation. Scenic and dramatic space that, consisting of compositional counterweights, tensions of perspective, intertwined tight signs, is aimed at a spectator who wants to face this journey to the discovery of new worlds, to be caged in the dense network of silent puzzles, which is inevitably raised by the choice of a path.
