FIDUCIA NELLA NATURA

TERRACOTTA, OTTONE BRUNITO, LEGNO

CONFIDENCE IN NATURE

The laying of the sculpture is taken from the sculpture "Confidence in God" by Lorenzo Bartolini. When he was commissioned the work he was asked for a Faith but he replied that he didn't have it. He therefore decided for a  “Confidence” by observing the laying of his model. I decided to propose a “Confidence  in Nature”. I chose as a model not a teenager but a child because in children the forces of nature are more evident. In the work there is a synthesis between the animal nature (the girl) and the vegetable nature (the cabbage) as well as the sculpture is formed by the terracotta (which contains the four elements) and the brass to represent the inert part of nature
