Thiswas a gift for my parents on their wedding anniversary. I twisted a pair of glasses with a golden frame so that one of the rods would open in front and the other one behind the lenses. I inscribed on one lens "XX" (female chromosome) and on the other face of the other lens "XY" (male chromosome). The result is that these glasses can be virtually used by two people at once (one in one direction and one in the other), and the two chromosomes merge simultaneously into a common vision. I enjoyed the thought of two individuals face to face with their femininity and masculinity simultaneously. The causes and conditions that led to the creation of the work are my meditations on the male and female sides of human beings, along with the consideration that both my parents were wearing glasses. On their anniversary, I wanted to give them an object that testified to the fact that they gave me birth(thanks to their chromosomes)and that an eternal contrast between masculine and feminine parts characterizes human life from a physical but also - and above all - emotional, profound points of view. I liked the idea of creating something symbolic that would finally create peace between the two extremes. The glasses fulfil this function in a light and ironic way. The content of the work is sight, the vision that glasses have the function of correcting and fixing. In this case, the "correction" refers to the perspective of opposition in which the two sexes are usually considered, which becomeshere harmoniously unifiedin a global vision by both subjects symbolically interested in the vision. Over and above the huge gap between my parents and me, I am pleased to have created and offered this work to those who procreated me: I consider ita debt of gratitude that I have partially repaid. What is transient in this work is the glasses, which could have had a different shape and be made of a different material without altering the sense of the object. What is original is the energy set in motion by the work, which leads to meditations on the meaning of genres and their relationship. This workinduces, I believe, reflection. In its simplicity and almost banality, however, it plays an important role in my life; I am very fond of it. It is still naïve from a certain point of view: it still believes in family harmony, in love between people, in reciprocating debts of gratitude. However, from another point of view itstems from a Buddhist conception(years before I started my Buddhist journey) precisely because of its unwavering confidence in the individual's potential to create harmony.
