XIII
The number XIII has always
been symbolic for the artist, as it turned out to be a constant
coincidence during the main events that occurred in his life. In
addition to being the bearer of good news, he represented the
will-o'-the-wisp to follow to find his destiny.
Going into the details of
this work, the number is reported here in its karmic meaning as an
emblem of death, transformation and rebirth. Often linked by
superstition to misfortune, since it is represented in the tarot with
a skeleton symbol of death, the origin of this card instead comes
from an invitation to reflect on the fragility of life and to deal
with spiritual things.
If we base on the author's experiences it
is possible to change one's point of view, going beyond popular
belief that only underlines the dark aspects of existence. Thanks to
the intertwining of the various elements present within this work, it
is possible to positively evaluate the various facets contained
within the meaning of this number, which can be re-evaluated as a
symbol of renewal and re-flowering of man.
