Client: FRATERNITA DE' LAICI_AREZZO_ITALY

Overview

“Time is a thought connected to life itself; time passes by and ends with us . A project reflecting upon the concept of TIME is a very ambitious proposition for a figurative artist. The palpitation of light is like the beating of a heart; the heart is the tempo of life. years, hours, minutes are a human thought, related to existence and calculated forever by man by mean of: “Time Machines.” This golden hourglass is a contemporary piece, a vital and ephemeral object, and celebrative of life itself.”
