CONTATTA“Beloved” explores the deep, unspoken bond between parent and child, a relationship shaped by presence, protection, and the gradual process of letting go. The two figures intertwine in a delicate balance: one embraces, the other rests in trust.
The more inward-looking, tilted face expresses the fundamental need for protection, the natural refuge every child seeks. Behind it, the more composed, upright figure represents the parent: a watchful, reassuring presence whose strength is almost imperceptible.
The geometric forms running through the work suggest the limits, structures, and rules that guide and shape us. They are not barriers, but boundaries necessary for growth. The branch, an organic, living element, becomes a symbol of transformation: growing also means separating, reaching towards the light.
“Beloved” is the subtle tension between holding on and letting go.
It is love’s most complex gesture: protecting without possessing, guiding without holding back.
