About this artwork
This piece is about dificult choices and how it can be complicated to get out of our comfort zone. The wings represent just that, the comfort zones, the situations that seem somehow perfect or comortable to us.
The characte has shed these wings, but is still hesitant to take onnew challenges and new adventures. He is in this complicated moment where he is about to make the decision that feels more his own and more authentic. He wants to say who… he really is. He has to leave behind a lot of things that were comfortable and known.

« 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.
