La rete neurale, le vene e il sistema circolatorio, rivelano le loro complesse interconnessioni nel minuzioso lavoro del giovane artista Nikki Rosato. Partendo da vecchie cartine stradali e mappe in disuso, crea delicate sculture ad intaglio di figure umane.

Our physical bodies are beautiful structures full of detail, and they hold the stories that haunt and mold our lives. The lines on a road map are beautifully similar to the lines that cover the surface of the human body.

In my most recent work involving maps, as I remove the landmasses from the silhouetted individuals I am further removing the figure’s identity, and what remains is a delicate skin-like structure. Through this process, specific individuals become ambiguous and hauntingly ghost-like, similar to the memories they represent.
