The step just taken is certain, but it does not know the one that will follow, which will become solid and firm in its turn. The walk begins without knowing its end; it can imagine it, but nothing prevents it from betraying the image it has formed to reach toward other, new images. The outcome of every walk leads to the awareness that no walk has an end. And it is at this point that the work of creation stops, like a question, a suspension that awaits something else outside itself, a relaunch of desire.

The organic matter recovered along the way and captured in a significant relic infuses its soul into inanimate objects through the passion of what was once something else and now is what it is. Deus sive natura.

In the form of the wait that elapses between one step and the next, between certainty and uncertainty, between consciousness and emptiness, a promise and a memory, a time that is also space is generated: a space of time that appears in Berola's works.

Sara Berola's artistic research explores the meaning of work and material, highlighting the beauty that emerges in the interruptions and moments of fragility of objects, intentionally left unfinished and suspended in an unstable state. Her works reveal a hidden complexity within matter, which is not visible at first glance but represents the most authentic dimension of experience. Her work creates a continuum between memory and the present, inviting reflection on how the true and powerful essence of beauty manifests itself precisely in uncertainty and imperfection.
