Red

This sculpture is an abstraction of a joyful ritual, making pizza with my family. My family is from Italy and Argentina so to me pizza is more than food; it is a shared experience, a tradition that fills the room with movement, laughter, and the warmth of togetherness. But when I visit my family, we never make just one, we make more than twenty.

Carved from plywood and painted red, the sculpture captures the fluid, dynamic energy of this process. Circles emerge from the main structure at various points, symbolizing both the endless repetition of shaping each pizza and the communal act of passing, tossing, and sharing. By abstracting these forms, I emphasize not just the physicality of making pizza but the rhythm, movement, and expansion of the tradition itself. The sculpture is a reflection of the motion and connection that food creates and how it continuously brings people together.
