(...) In Contra el Viento, Chiara Bugatti focuses on the third of the four elements, that of Air, to which she attributes the properties of the spirit, purity, fantasy and imagination; this element carries the qualities of moisture and warmth in contrast to the arid and cold earth, a process which recurs in Bugatti's own creative process. It is the element Air that has always been considered the ultimate vital element since it allows us to breathe and therefore offers and instills the essential impulse for life itself.

A 'cloud' of uncommon objects, articulated between openness and transparency, formed by a galaxy of different materials, are invited to take part in a curious and impalpable cohabitation arranged fittingly into the given spaces and following a rhizomatic organisation, wind in your eyes, where the duality “atmosphere-biosphere” becomes deep and solemn, ordered and chaotic, transcendental and corporeal.
