The Pioneer is a sculpture—created by artist Raffaella Brusaglino—that depicts the profile of a woman bent over, gazing in wonder at what grows from the earth and rises among the tufts of uncultivated grass, represented by a removable flower made of metal, paint, and resin, each different, like the diverse elements of nature.
Laser-cut sculptures, always identical in form, but each time different due to the unpredictable use of materials: they represent a dialogue between nature and the human body, playing on varying proportions in a metaphysical and poetic dimension.
The interpretation of the material is destabilized by the chromatic variations and evokes associations of ideas, bringing the work to a broader semantic extension that concerns the moral and spiritual aspect of the relationship between humans and nature.
