"Daphne proud to become a tree"

This sculpture refers to the Greek myth of the nymph Daphne who, chased by Apollo who had fallen madly in love with her, asked her mother Gea for help and obtained to be turned into laurel. Deprived of the male figure of the myth, the sculpture wants to depict the independence of the female figure, literally immersing the clay of which it is composed in the natural element of wood, symbolizing the indissoluble and ancestral bond of the female creature with Mother Nature as generators of Life on this planet.
