Carolina Sardi Argentinian, b. 1967

Carolina Sardi’s Window seems to depict a box with sharp inner edges containing a floating cherry-like form, complete with a stem. Next to it, there is an unpolished metal spot. This composition can be interpreted as a metaphor for the relationship between protection and restriction. The box suggests a confined space, perhaps a window into something deeper, while the cherry, delicate and organic, contrasts with the rigid geometry of the metal.

The unpolished spot might represent a deliberate imperfection, a reminder of the materiality of the object and the unfinished within the seemingly structured. In this sense, the piece could allude to the tension between the natural and the constructed, the controlled and the spontaneous. Is the cherry a symbol of desire trapped within a rigid structure? Or is it an invitation to look beyond the window and question our notions of confinement and freedom?

Sardi often explores the relationship between emptiness and matter, so this piece might also play with the idea of absence and presence, the visible and the hidden.
