CONCEPT
Wind emerges as a poetic meditation on the unseen forces that animate our world, encapsulated in the statement: ‘Reinforcing the connection with nature and highlighting the invisible energy that shapes our life.’ Comprising 21 large, polished aluminium flutes arranged in a spiral formation—the oldest symbol of wind, reflecting its dynamic movement through life—this work invites the local wind to serve as its sole musician, transforming natural breezes into a resonant symphony of distinct musical notes. Inspired by ancient Egyptian reverence for sound and frequency, as evidenced in the acoustic mysteries of the pyramids, Ana Ferrari integrates cymatics, meticulously studied in her atelier. Each flute’s unique note is precisely imprinted into its resonance chamber using laser technology, structuring the form and revealing intricate vibrational patterns etched into the chamber itself. Spanning 2.5 to 5 meters, the spiral composition playfully engages the spectator: as they interact with the work, they see themselves reflected in the polished aluminium, alongside the pyramids and desert. Rooted in her global exploration of cultural and natural energies, the work is the result of profound studies in cymatics, sacred geometry, ancestral symbolism, cosmic vibrations, and spiritual interconnections, blending art and science to invite viewers to experience the wind’s melodic interplay as a living testament to the profound rhythm between humanity and the cosmos, pure in its natural resonance.
