Artwork
A subtle and almost imperceptible thread connects earth and sky, physical and intelligible substance: here is the human being. The moment when the body takes shape, the profound emotional, intellectual, and visceral passion informs itself, finding a physical place at the center of a protected and protective basin: the maternal womb and the seed of paternal conception, united together: an unconditional gift of opposites to the new life that emerges.
