Artist Statement:
My work emphasizes the relationships between shapes and the lines those shapes make. Using wood as my primary material, I intend to explore the character of wood and visual language of the resulting work. I have always been fascinated by wood as a material. It is amazing how people control the material against its own will to create something very different from the way it is supposed to look in nature. I am interested in how wood reacts to control and physical force and how it accordingly reveals its characteristics. Therefore, the construction process is very important in my work as a physical structure and also as a visual element. Various reactions of wood embody my interest in human nature. Through my work, I plan to examine how human beings interact with each other and how those interactions create emotional tension.

Plaster and Steel
Hangings and Weightings
White plaster sculptures hang slug-like on tenterhooks and seem to capture a state of uncertainty; all hang from a similar height. Vital tells me that his upbringing in the Engadine, with its backdrop of snowcapped mountains, had fixed his contemplative gaze at a certain height.
"When the sun goes up, the people in the Engadine are looking up," explains Vital, gesturing above eye-level. "If you look at old people in Italy they look down. Growing up there - and we are formed very early - vision is always fixed up there. When I was in New York, my first apartment didn't have much light, but it was the tallest I could get because if I had to concentrate on something, it would be up there... at 3m 30cm," Vital recalls, his gaze fixed at the exact height of his reverie. -source is Huffington Post, link here
