Malena · Forms of Presence

Between Us

Closeness with a rhythm of its own.

Dark contours lean towards one another. Red holds the interval between them, where separate movements begin to share a rhythm. The painting leaves room for closeness and for the outline each presence keeps.

The full story

Intimacy / Choice / Self-possession

Dark contours lean into one another while red holds the warmth between them. Separate movements begin to share a rhythm. This artifact carries a legend of chosen intimacy: desire moves toward another while the sense of self keeps its own rhythm, its own boundaries, its own yes.

Proposed accompaniment

Spoken Vow

Near, and Whole

A short text intended to be read aloud before the work. Its rhythm gives equal weight to openness and self-possession, allowing closeness to begin with a voice that remains recognizably one's own.

Conceived as a separate companion to the painting. Its form and inclusion are to be agreed individually.
