Zymari (dough in Greek) serves as an allegory for love. Natural, primal and flexible, the metaphorical body of love, a pleasure to touch but also sometimes hard work, contains the virtuality of its transfiguation to bread. Like love, it changes along with our desire and our performance upon it.
In the triptych, acts and pronouns merge and frame the loneliness and freedom of the singular and the sharing, fulfillment and limitations of the plural. He and she alone with the dough fantasize a love story of epic dimensions in the face of personal and social routine. The latter comes through the sound of the news, which gradually subsides, with the subjective sound of an opera piece triumphing over it.Then together, his and her hand trace the pleasures and pains of a shared life, symbolized by the red thread connecting their hands.
