Hinein ins Leben - Immergersi nella vita

Immersing yourself in life
Having grown in the warm nest, at a certain point little birds head out into the world, ready to fly and leave their earlier protective shell and then the nest itself. They become even smaller because they realize that, outside of the family's attention, in the big world or in the city of Rome, they are just individuals among many. The world out there is colder than home. We wish to break out of the confines of home to discover new things, to seize opportunities and to affirm ourselves. This is the cycle. We head out to find ourselves and then to build our own nest.
Here the layers are divided inside and out. The extended white space suggests, moreover, that we have every option available when we are ready to take flight. We're at the beginning, like a blank sheet of paper. A light breeze is blowing (the light blue) but it lets us be free to decide which path to take. The warmth (orange) of home gives us strength on our way.
