Matteo Negri — L'Ego Mappa
Matteo Negri

L'Ego Mappa

A striking sculptural work by Matteo Negri, *L'Ego Mappa* combines chromed iron with lacquered surfaces and resin to create a visually complex meditation on identity and self-perception. The interplay of reflective chrome and richly finished materials evokes the multifaceted, layered nature of the ego, simultaneously revealing and distorting the viewer's own image. Negri masterfully bridges industrial materiality with psychological depth, inviting contemplation of the constructed self.
