Skull III

The new redefi ned object is very far from the original idea
, it becomes a way of “demystifying identifi cation” giving it a new identity
that establishes an aesthetic dimension of fear and terror.Terror is a heightened state of
fear, an overwhelming sense of imminent danger. But terror concerns above all the soul,
it is in its tortuous paths that it sinks bringing the ambivalent sense of the sublime that
“is born when facing objects and situations that are impossible to control and that bring
forth at once attraction and repulsion” (Edmund Burke), it is a sensation that compels
the mind to became conscious of its own rational limit and recognize the possibility of
an extrasensory dimension to be experienced on a purely emotional plane. Skull becomes a primaeval structure bearing a profoundly
contradictory message: morbid and hence “negative”, insofar as it is connected with decay
and death, but also “hopeful” since death itself is connected to rebirth and renewing.
