Amati Orsacchiotti (Beloved Teddy Bears). Steel, 2022.
The sculptural project was born from the desire to celebrate our attachment to teddy bears, who makes us emotional and we like to hug. The bears in the project are sculptural portraits of the teddy bears. Paradoxically, the hardness of the steel is opposed to the softness, the main characteristic of the stuffed animal, which makes it so special and lovable. The bears, however, are thus immortalized in the sculpture, which becomes a small monument of its own. I love the softness of teddy bears as much as I love steel.
Ongoing project.
