Inspired by ancient architectures, Laura Pasquino unveils Temple during the sculpture tour of the Luxembourg Art Week 2024. Known for her minimalist ceramic works, Pasquino transcends her intimate approach here to explore a sculptural language that is both monumental and introspective, while playing on the subtle interaction between simplicity and complexity. Temple presents itself as a monumental stack of round shapes, rising in a cascade within a structured chaos. Each hand-crafted ceramic piece is carefully positioned, creating an arrangement reminiscent of the organic randomness found in nature. This play between order and disorder challenges the very idea of stability and balance, while holding together with tranquil dignity, evoking both fragility and strength. Through this work, Pasquino establishes a deep dialogue between the body and the mind. Temple is not just an exterior structure; it becomes the reflection of an inner sanctuary, a metaphor for the spaces we build within ourselves from our experiences, memories, and emotions. The ascending forms recall this incessant human quest for balance and meaning, a spiritual elevation shaped by our inner lives. The raw and unglazed texture of the ceramics, marked by the traces of the manufacturing process, intensifies this exploration of the layers of existence. Temple thus becomes an echo of nature itself: a work rooted in the earth by its materials.
Ultimately, Temple is a symbolic bridge between the physical world and that of emotions. With Temple, Laura Pasquino invites us to a deep contemplation of our own internal architectures, while celebrating the meeting of tradition and innovation. This work reminds us that every edifice, whether of stone or emotion, bears witness to the resilience of the human spirit facing the forces of time.
