Statement
Pollarolo's work delves into a philosophical and reflective dimension through spherical forms that intertwine to create "molecular communities." These structures connect the individual with the vastness of the universe, revealing an invisible unity and a sense of belonging within the infinitesimal and the cosmic. Through repetition and formal interconnection, Pollarolo investigates the relationship between microscopic traces and the magnitude of outer space, creating a visual language that renders the invisible visible. Her practice invites deep contemplation on matter and spirit, where the spherical form operates as a symbol of totality and a basic unit of a shared existence on a universal plane.
