A precious metal
Among metals, gold is a precious material rich in symbolic meanings, often associated with wealth, nobility and luxury. The combination of this metal with the idea of an irregular stone generates a fascinating contrast in the context of Cavenago's ongoing research into his relationship with nature.
Gioia erratica emulates the irregular and accidental shape of a small natural stone, with surfaces that bend and break in unpredictable ways, defying expectations. This choice represents an innovation, as gold is traditionally moulded into precise, defined shapes, whereas here it is used to represent the randomness and imperfection of nature.
Erratic Joy evokes the fragility of wealth, questioning the values associated with gold and formal perfection. At the same time, it suggests an exploration of beauty in imperfection and diversity, inviting reflection on the complexity and variety of the natural world.
