IN-NEST

Nature is our nest, our home. The sculpture looks like an alien plant, a hybrid graft made of nature and technology demonstrating the destructive intervention of man on the natural environment.  But there is also a hope represented by the eyeballs eggs grafted inside the plant/nest (whose ribs of the skeletonized leaves evoke the veins of human eyes), that is, that the presence of man fits into the perspective of a more harmonious relationship with Nature. The eyeballs are in fact three, like the all-seeing Third Eye, a symbol of spiritual elevation and deep knowledge. In addition, the dyes that draw the irises will be corroded over time causing the irises to disappear completely inside the bulbs; this can be interpreted either as a positive sign of the harmonious integration of human beings into Nature caused by more sustainable ways of living, or with the extinction of the human race on this planet.
