Artwork
Synthesis of the relationship between nature and man, a voracious builder and usurper of shared spaces, Silvia's work demonstrates how nature ultimately prevails and puts us in a precarious condition.
To ensure our future, it is essential to restore the right relationship with nature. Without it, we could not survive, whereas the opposite is not true. Her powerful and vigorous work, much like nature itself, even in its minute and fragile aspect, effectively communicates the intended message. The completed and the incomplete aspects of her sculpture echo Michelangelo, evoking our admiration and adding depth to the unexpressed.
