Exhibited at DESIGN MIAMI.PARIS 2023 Anna Pesonen is a Finnish multi-disciplinary artist and designer working in the medium of sculpture. Currently based in London, Pesonen creates functional sculptures in marble sourced directly from the quarries of Tuscany, Italy. With a deep connection to her medium, she intertwines the realms of art and design in her artistic practice, creating a boundless dialogue between the two forms of expression. Pesonen’s debut collection, titled 'DISCOURSE,' presents sculptures as poignant sites and conduits for introspection and dialogue. Her sculptural works transcend the traditional notion of passive art objects, instead embodying a transformative metaphysical function. Viewers are invited to embark on an immersive emotional and intellectual journey, delving into a philosophical contemplation of the deeper complexities of the human experience, igniting a profound connection between the artwork and its beholder. Through 'DISCOURSE,' Pesonen fearlessly explores pressing contemporary concerns, delving into themes of solastalgia, disinformation, and divisive politics. Her works intertwine utopian concepts, advocating dialogue and self-awareness as tools to address the challenges of our politically charged era, encouraging unity and cooperation. Materials: Carrara marble.
