This work is part of the series entitled '-10.994'. -10.994 meters represents the maximum ocean depth, precisely the Challenger Abyss in the Mariana Trench. The abyss is an unbridgeable distance between two people or between oneself and one's own desires. It's a place where the words never spoken and the erased images are born. What we reject there on the bottom settles and trasforms in organic matter. It not die but turns into nostalgia, regret, duty, dissatisfaction, unresolved question. "Looks from flowers, closed under the weight of rocks, encrusted under fossils, mosses and corals, lips suffocated by smoke and words muffled by water. Bodies imprisoned in crystals, sucked from the abysses of the sea, clinging to shapeless creatures. Hands pierced and blocked by flakes of crystals, harnessed within stones, trapped in the ice. They are silent figures, faces with hidden eyes and a faded mouth. The word is submerged, violated, stolen, torn away, suffocated, the image erased from pain or forgotten by time."

Elisabetta Cardella, born 1980, works in Toscana, a Calci (PI). She studied traditional drawing, painting and sculptural techniques at the Istituto d’Arte. During that time she created large colorful paintings of figures and animals in imaginary settings. During the University years she studied art history which she discreetly incorporates and references in her current work. She also learned the technique of gilding at Palazzo Spinelli, Firenze. From this grounding in traditional techniques she then moved towards digital media and developed work in the area of print and communications, specializing in Graphic Design e Multimedia at LABA in Florence, writing her thesis on Museum Communication. As a graphic designer she has collaborated on various events and museum exhibitions. Her subsequent compositions reflect her study of graphics, becoming lighter, rigorous, more essential. She collaborates on the project OPERABUSIVA which brings together graphics and photography, and creates a series of paper toys for children that unite illustration and design. Her current work draws on and incorporates aspects of all of these different phases of technical and conceptual development. She uses mixed media collage to create surreal atmospheres, landscapes suspended in time, imaginary characters illuminated in golden, brilliant colors. Lightness and transparency are achieved through combining different kinds of papers and materials. She explores the relationship between the body and nature, feelings, emotions, instincts and primordial human weaknesses. She creates a dialogue between traditional art forms and new media, bringing contemporary imagination to revisit classical compositions.
