Drawn from the myth of Chiron, the wounded healer whose name descends from the Greek cheir (hand), this work holds translucent horsehide within hand-formed bronze lines, fixed with stainless-steel wire that reads as surgical suture. Seams and perforations remain visible as records of mending rather than concealment. Light passes through, casting an interior pattern, recalling the Orphic Egg: a fragile, luminous cosmos where creation persists through rupture. Following Aldo Carotenuto’s Jungian insight, the wound becomes feritoia, an aperture through which something essential can finally pass.
