Silence
Carole Turner - USA
2014
17° Simposio Internazionale di Scultura su pietre del Friuli Venezia Giulia
Marmo Rosso Verzegnis
Per osservare l'opera realizzata da Carole Turner, artista di origine americana, bisogna addentrarsi all'interno del Parco "Marisa Troiano", dove ha sede l'Associazione "Insieme si può" Onlus, composta da famiglie e amici di ragazzi disabili, che qui realizzano molte attività, circondati dal verde e dalla voglia di fare.
La scultura si trova al centro dell'ampio parco, circondata dagli alberi e dall'energia della natura circostante. L'artista, infatti, ha realizzato un'opera intitolata "Silenzio", nel tentativo di farci riflettere su quanto sia necessario, a volte, isolarsi da tutto per recuperare la propria forza interiore. Basta fermarsi ad ascoltare la natura e osservare la bellezza che abbiamo intorno a noi.
Artwork
Away from the constant daily buzz, from the shouting voices, as well as from unnatural sounds, the artist isolates themselves in their creative silence. They encapsulate, with elegant enveloping strokes, a closed body, sinuously harmonious, curled up to defend its space and in silent dialogue with the soul, with that which we hide most intimately from others, except ourselves.
The essence of the work reveals itself in the desire to recreate a moment of meditation, a break from the senses, which becomes increasingly indispensable to truly understand who we are.
