Quiet Wait (Attesa Silente) Oblivion (Oblio)
"The history of symbolism shows that everything can assume symbolic significance: natural objects, or man-made things, or even abstract forms. In fact, the whole cosmos is a potential symbol." Every man with his tendency to a symbolizing activity, unconsciously transforms forms or objects in symbols, and expresses them through religion and figurative arts.
I approached the composition of this portfolio trying to treasure the old memory of this passage from the book "Man and his Symbols" of C.G. Jung.
Heavy fog covers the bucolic scenery, where hay balls, assembled and covered with sheets by farmers, are standing up like majestic, mysterious and emblematic sculptures. Here prevails the sense of immobility waiting for accomplishment;
everything is marked by the next usage of the hay.
Thanks to the padded atmosphere, the sculptures get transformed in metaphoric figures, bringing my vision towards a psychological investigation, thus becoming an intimate allegory of numerous, concrete and tidy thoughts, ready for the imminent fulfillment.
The union between mind, that is the thoughts, and the core of rain,
takes place through the ladder, here a symbolic object of mutual
union.
