From the “Vertigo” series.
Triptych inspired by Vertigine. La tentazione dell’identità by Andrea Cavalletti
Vertigo is a painterly reflection on the restless movement of identity and on the tension
between the desire to define oneself and the impossibility of being fixed into a definitive form.
The three panels create a visual journey that guides the viewer through a gradual
immersion into the vortex of being: from the search for direction, to the attraction of a center,
and finally to the dissolution of all stable boundaries.
The evanescent currents evoke an ever-changing interior landscape, where identity appears
not as a completed reality but as an ongoing process of becoming. In dialogue with Andrea Cavalletti’s thought,
vertigo becomes an experience of the threshold: a force that both attracts and destabilizes,
questioning every attempt to arrest the flow of life within a permanent definition.
In Emergence of the Self the journey begins with a sinuous current flowing across the entire surface, suggesting the
emergence of a form that is still uncertain. The lines seem to converge toward a possible
identity, a trace seeking affirmation within the continuous transformation of matter.
Here, vertigo coincides with the desire for orientation. The self attempts to recognize itself, to
establish a direction within the flow, pursuing the idea of a stable form. Yet every contour
remains fluid and permeable, as though its definition were always deferred.
Emergence of the Self represents the moment of searching: the original tension toward self-recognition.
