Diana Ficca, María Andrea Anzorena
Curated by Sofía Adissi
November 1 – 14, 2025
Opening: Saturday, November 1, 7 p.m.
Cassia House presents The Volume of Silence, an exhibition featuring paintings by Italian artist Diana Ficca and sculptures by Argentine artist María Andrea Anzorena, curated by Sofía Adissi.
The exhibition unfolds a poetic dialogue between emptiness and fullness, between what is visible and what remains latent. Rather than opposites, the curatorial approach considers them as interdependent forces: emptiness as the condition of form, and fullness as the echo of the space that surrounds it.
In Ficca’s paintings, light becomes a suspended matter, where every tone seems to hold its own silence. Anzorena’s sculptures, in turn, trace a breathing presence: bodies that open, surfaces that pulse, voids that become language.
There is an instant before everything, where nothing weighs yet, but everything is about to happen. That threshold is not absence—it is tension, a thickness in the air that holds possibility: everything that could be, can be, and will be. There, in that instant, lies the true beginning of all things.
The Volume of Silence is that dense, imminent space that announces—as a sign, a trace—what is about to come.
Silence is not passive, but a field of tension between what wants to be and what still resists. It is a latency that shouts in whispers and falls silent deafeningly. Its volume is not measured in meters or acoustics, but in the invisible pressure it exerts on the form about to emerge—a vibration without sound that carves space from within. It is in silence that matter recognizes its own fragility, a presence that occurs on the verge of disappearing. In the dance between emptiness and plenitude, form ceases to be object and becomes event.
Emptiness and plenitude are not opposites but a single pulse—two faces of a coin that spin without stopping. There is a rhythm between them, a breath alternating presence and withdrawal.
Form is not born against emptiness, but from it; not from the will to occupy, but from the ability to hear what has not yet taken weight. It sculpts without exhausting. It does not annul—it reveals. Because the limit of a body is not its edge, but the air that sustains it.
- Sofia Adissi
The Volume of Silence invites viewers into a space of contemplation and listening — a journey where air, form, and distance acquire density, and where what remains unspoken becomes an essential part of what unfolds.
