The artwork puts in place my transitional object: a soft toy became essential in my childhood life. The concept of “transitional object” was formulated by Donald Winnicott. For this work I tried to rebuild my old soft toy with cloth and thread, trying to reproduce the original one and the game of mirrors in the installation multiply the attempt. The background video is about the story of the bed on which the soft toy spent much of its life.
