In the town where my mother comes from, a small village nestled between Como Lake and the slopes of San Primo Mount, there is a way of saying that new and old farmers often use to repeat: if the earth were at table level we would be all peasants.
As often happens, the popular tradition puts the accent on themes of extreme actuality with its subtle irony; it is undeniable, in fact, that many of us have lost the natural contact with the earth and its generative force.
In this context, Will is inserted as a work capable of stimulating reflection on the centrality of the man-nature bond, inviting the viewer to interact through a mutual exchange of energies with the installation, in an experience that actively engages the body and emotionality of the public, promoting the development of a social responsibility attentive to the needs of what surrounds us.
Will, 2019.
Steel installation combined with coal, sand, walnuts, the flower of life made out of steel and apple bonsai.
