The reference to Mother Earth returns.

The intention is not the rational critique of industrial civilization characteristic of the aesthetics of Land Art or Arte Povera, but rather the more unconscious poetic reworking of Mediterranean memory and myths.

She is a Great Mother. From her furrows emerge genital organs, ready to be fertilized and to fertilize.

It is the territory of the mark, the trace, the light.

On the one hand, it is the language of introspection, analysis and memory; on the other, it has a formal and spatial value. It seeks a synesthetic relationship with light and shadow, with order and chaos.
