A rock that comes back - 2022

Large scale, permanent installation, for the Land Art Park on Monte Barro (Lecco, Italy).  On a symbolic journey a rock washed by water moves up along the valley and settles on a protruding spur in the highest part of the mount, suggesting how in nature changes are part of a constant, unstoppable process. The two rocks have been covered with a thin metallic layer - gold and aluminum. This magic transformation highlights the preciousness of nature and the importance of the symbiotic relationships among the elements that form the ecosystems and contaminate each other.
