Mare Nostrum
The theme of the work created at Albisola is a deeply rooted yet still current part of the history of humanity: emigration. The human body is the carrier of the values of those who emigrate while at the same time acting as the receptor of new values to be assimilated. Hence everyone appears with his or her own interior ocean and a specific motivation for navigation symbolised by tropical fruits that in our culture have diverse meanings. The fish that fly rather than swim represent the constant migrations in the animal world. The paper boats evoke the primary infantile dream associated with travel that will accompany man throughout his life, a widespread phenomenon in all times and at all latitudes, hence the title: Mare Nostrum.
