CREA Cantieri del Contemporaneo, Venice, 2023
Portal is a three-metre-tall luminous glass door framed in metal and illuminated by neon, giving the impression that it hovers in space. The work draws on years of research into symbolism, urbanism, and architecture, transforming an ordinary functional form into a symbol of higher order and possibility.

Installed in Venice—a city known for its unique and historically symbolic doors—Portal engages with both local architectural traditions and the industrial context of CREA Cantieri del Contemporaneo, located within historic boat repair docks. The use of glass, metal, and neon references this industrial setting while embodying principles of sustainability and transformation: everyday materials shift meaning, just as the door itself becomes a metaphor for transitions and new states of being.
