CYCLVS DIEI (“Cycle of the Day”) collects a series of sculptures in stainless steel, onyx, cast glass and LED lights, merged with Latin poetry and contemporary music.

The series is based on interconnected Latin poems, exploring a particular light of the day as a literary vehicle to reflect a range of dramatically different emotions, from the femininity of dawn to the wrath of day, from the acritude of twilight to the quietness of night.

Each epigram is visually represented by a glass and steel sculpture. The words, carved in stainless steel support classically inspired torsos/figures in cast glass, reflecting the content of the poems. Built-in onyx, illuminated by LEDs, brings physically each piece to light.

A piano and voice soundtrack complements each sculpture and provides a new dimension to the lyrics themselves, in Latin, as originally conceived and as reflected in the physical pieces. The music pieces are captured in a vinyl album, result of the artistic collaboration with Canadian composer Jonny Hetherington.
