Blade is the name of a series of ground glass sculptures supported by elliptical iron segments.
They are the first works - together with the series of Enlightenmentscreated by Morucchio at the end of the 90s presented in Venice in his first solo exhibition Dinamiche.
Seemingly frozen, they appear to glide, suspended in a balanced tension between the forces of attraction and repulsion, or rather, blocked by the weight and the fixedness of the iron structures holding them, containing the “mobility” of the glass element.
