About this artwork
Where is home is a bronze bust of a woman with flowers and houses on her head.
The title tells the story of this piece, a reminder that home is a concept mainly in our head, and we can make “home” every place where we feel comfortable and at ease. The artist wants to remind herself that the body is our real home, and that she can be well everywhere. This is a very dear theme to Francesca since she is far away from home and sometimes she need to… remember that she is not lost.
This piece has a black and green patina with golden details, polished to reveal the natural bronze color. The black patina is made from the green one, after the burning process, so magical and mystical.
This piece is a series of 6. The size includes the marble base.

« The stories of each character, isolated in an intimate and personal dimension, are reflections on human values, perceptions and emotions. »
Francesca Dalla Benetta is an Italian sculptor based in Mexico. After 10 years working as a makeup artist in the film industry, Dalla Benetta is now a dedicated full-time artist. Her work is characterized by anatomies and mixed forms. Faces and human bodies are combined with different textures, skins and elements, giving rise to hybrid and fantastic beings. Through unusual, strange and surreal bodies, her pieces focus on the problems of transformation, identity, the sense of belonging, self-perception and dreams.
