A work that was born in 2020, among the ruins of a glorious past the restlessness of the present materializes with force, the face is distorted. The man below does not know his future… the tire could overwhelm him, the nails could hurt him. Hope is a mysterious presence and the dynamics of the gazes are active. Elements of Roman architectural structures in the background and in the foreground. The water symbol of life and the sarcophagus of death. The theme of distance is emblematic and current and also concerns aspects of the social coexistence of our time. The small size of the picture (40X30cm) compresses the content into a few elements but the reading of the message ranges and extends over time, and in its depth.
