The exhibition unfolds the passages of a ritual performed by the artist in the presence of the material found in the territory: observation, excavation, the discovery of the soul. The five sculpted heads reflect the essence of Volterra Alabaster (agate, white alabaster and bardiglio), telling each one a different story of minerals, hydroxides and earthen paths.
While presenting different angles of the same identity, each alabaster sculpture is repeated in the context of the rituals, namely of the snake, of healing, of the wind, of silence and of knowledge. Ancient rites and ancient beliefs, handed down to our own day, take on a new form and be reinterpreted, establishing an unusual connection between past civilizations and today's anthropocentric society.
