ASECAN: we fear the burn and we are flames.
The design of the ASECAN Awards statuette, a collaborative work by Antonio Barahona and Lugadero, captures a deeply evocative poetic and symbolic essence. Crafted from folded steel, this statuette reflects an intrinsic duality inspired by the verse by Juan Antonio Bermúdez: “We are made of fire and worship the ashes; we fear the burn and we are flames.”
The choice of steel, a robust yet malleable material, symbolizes the strength and vulnerability of human creativity. The precise lines and angular forms of the folded steel represent the transformation of artistic fire into ashes, a tribute to the creation and destruction inherent in the artistic process. This piece not only celebrates cinema talent but also evokes the paradox of existence: the ephemeral beauty of the flame and the permanence of its legacy in the ashes.
