DescriptionAna Luiza studied MA Contemporary Photography; Practices and Philosophies at Central Saint Martins. Her artist's statement says:
'Every day is simply platitudes. They are the material objects that surround us beyond our needs and desires. In pursuit of serenity and beauty in her work, Ana essentially merges the aesthetic with beauty by playing with the shapes and structures of these objects. Ana creates sculptures attracted to desire beyond the original boundaries and banality. In some instances, she adds a touch of humour to further intrigue the audience.
This work is part of Ana’s 'Untitled' series and represents these values beyond intrinsic functionality. It symbolizes a perfect balance outside the formal structure, but more than that, a confrontation between everyday objects, and uselessness transformed into beautiful and meaningless sculptures.'
