About this artwork
“Dar a Luz” in Spanish means to give birth and, in turn, the light is the opposite
of darkness. In this work the dress and the mutilated body represent the interval
between the possible and the impossible, between the life, birth and death of a mutilated body.
The white color, the skirt and the elegant shawl together with the delicate hands with the
nails painted red, accentuate the beauty of the mother woman, giver of
life, in a wounded body… deprived of the possibility of giving birth and of "giving light",
enlightening others ...
Belly light, torn light,
elegant walks nailed to the wall,
today is not your day,
not even tomorrow,
Future and past so uncertain,
like the Light in the present
of darkness. In this work the dress and the mutilated body represent the interval
between the possible and the impossible, between the life, birth and death of a mutilated body.

« The focus of my work is the representation of the feeling of living in an interval, presence, and absence, as well as the trauma and post-trauma of abused women. »
Patricia Glauser is a sculptor based in Italy whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Slovakia, Germany, Colombia, and Croatia. Her art is born of the need to externalize the feeling of "living in between", as a neutral space between theinterior and exterior, material and energy, as well as presence and absence, trauma and post-trauma. Violence against women is one of Glauser's central themes, which she represents through the form of the dress.
