“L’Uno verso il Tutto” is a compelling material artwork by Elisa Aiassa that encapsulates her vision of cosmic unity and existential interconnectedness. Rooted in her ongoing exploration of transformation, symbolism and the alchemy of materials, this piece invites the viewer to contemplate not just what we are, but where we belong within the vastness of existence.

The composition unfolds on a textured canvas where layers of plaster, acrylic and sand create an elemental terrain — a symbolic threshold between the tangible and the transcendent. At its core lie two extraordinary materials: a piece of selenite and a fragment of meteorite. The selenite, known for its luminous, almost ethereal quality, suggests purity, clarity and connection to higher states of awareness, while the meteorite — a visitor from beyond our world — embodies the unknown, the cosmic and the infinite. Together they anchor the work’s central theme: the journey from individuality (“the One”) toward universal totality (“the All”).

The inclusion of plexiglass introduces transparency and reflective depth, amplifying the piece’s spatial dimension and inviting the observer to gaze through matter into possibility. Metal elements weave through the composition, linking disparate physical fragments into a coherent whole — echoing the metaphysical idea that all existence, no matter how remote, is interconnected.

For Aiassa, L’Uno verso il Tutto represents the dialectic between the singular and the collective — the personal and the cosmic. It speaks to the inner impulse toward wholeness, the intrinsic human longing to transcend separateness and recognise one’s place within the vast continuum of life and matter. In this sense, the work becomes a meditation on unity, transformation and the eternal dialogue between self and universe — themes that resonate deeply within Aiassa’s artistic philosophy.

Through its juxtaposition of primal materials and cosmic references, this work not only explores the metaphysical journey from “one” to “all,” but also evokes a reflective space in which viewers may question their own relationship to origin, existence and the infinite.
