Threshold II — Transit of Light (Italy, 2010–2013)

 

After completing his PhD in Theoretical Physical Chemistry, Daroni sought a territory where intuition and calculation, body and cosmos, could converge.

 

He found it during his postdoctoral research in multiscale simulations—his own discovery that became not only a scientific method but also a vital metaphor: perceiving the world in simultaneous layers, from the microscopic to the cosmic.

 

Italy was a revelation. In Trieste, he lived among theoretical physicists who spoke of the outer universe, while he felt the urgency to narrate his inner one.

 

Between laboratories and studios, he began to write Morphogenesis, a book where science and art were interwoven as two expressions of the same question: How does form originate?

 

The glass sculptures and light-box engravings became the visual corollary of that question. Matter ceased to be mere support—it became a medium to capture a passage between the invisible and the tangible.

 

Thus, the “Transit of Light” was also a crossing between disciplines, countries, and dimensions of perception.
