Lacavalla’s practice creates a space where diverse narratives intertwine through a process of symbolic mending. Her research weaves together past and present, exploring the friction between the visible and the invisible, the heard and the unheard. By bridging personal memory with universal phenomena – from the intimacy of childhood songs to the silent movements of the stars or echoes carried on the wind – she invites the audience to listen closely to the whispers of a shared human experience.
