Luce Solida (Solid Light) is a series of drawings that came from a particularly productive period for me in the studio of my father, the artist Paolo Serra, in Castelleale, Italy. I was and always have been influenced by his work, but took a more chaotic stance here. I chose from the materials around me, that happened to resist fixity and encourage disorder. Architectural forms remain deliberately ambiguous, suggesting structures that are both emerging and decaying. Concurrently working on Tranquility of Doom, which in some ways contemplates the quiet aftermath of architectural and emotional collapse, Luce Solida sees the threshold moments before disintegration.
