ἀλήθεια, 2025-2026

Aletheia, from the Ancient Greek meaning “unconcealment” or “revealing,” refers to a process in which truth does not appear as something fixed, but gradually emerges through an act of unveiling. Through subtraction, the sculptor reveals the fragility of form, transforming absence into a space where meaning can arise.

The work reflects on the contemporary human condition, shaped by systems that often define meaning before experience itself. In this context, truth is reached not through accumulation, but through a process of reduction, choice, and openness.

The viewer becomes an active participant in this unveiling. Through interaction with a MIDI controller, each gesture does not produce truth, but allows it to emerge, creating a temporary and personal space of meaning within the limits of human existence.

Aletheia is therefore not the representation of a final truth, but an experience of its continuous, fragile, and ever-changing becoming.
