Aria is a hot air balloon waiting to take off in flight, made of wood and iron: two simple materials normally associated with the idea of gravity. Here everything is taken to an extreme, in the instant in which the balloon is about to take off into the sky. It’s the contradiction inherent in art, the way art can fool our senses; a conflict between two elements that have now been moulded into a form that seems to absorb and caress the air, playing with it as if it were a musical instrument.
