Aurora Sciabarra's work is installation centred on the theme of identity. Made of elements resembling the human organs of stomach and spleen, the stomachs are connected to several materials.
Her work expresses a concept of identity inspired by the philosophical concept of Rhizome, developed by Deleuze and Guattari, as well as by the traditional Chinese medicine that sees both stomach and spleen as the organs responsible processing emotions and thoughts, other than nutrients.
