"bottom paintbrush-holder and backdrop lagoon residue"


Two glass containers with a capacity of 500 ml each contain respectively: the sludgy bottom of the Venetian lagoon and the sludgy bottom of my paintbrush holder.  And then a glass cube, which will contain, as years goes by, the sedimentation of the sludge from my paintbrush holder.
The substance that accumulates on the lagoon bed is like the one at the bottom of my paintbrush holder. The substance consists of the residues, of what remains of the experience, and is formed over time, leaving a trace of its passage. Here there is no superimposition: everything is mixed.
