PORTATORE DI NUVOLE
The cloud carrier is the one who pours ripened dreams into reality. This body-like figure tiptoes silently. It carries carrying the most precious thing that exists: “the dream each of us carries within.”
This dream takes the shape of a cloud because clouds are the same in all corners of the world. They are understood by all, inviting us to imagine, to wonder, and to believe in what has yet to be. Like dreams, clouds transform step by step, bringing us happiness when they come true.
At its core, this sculpture is a tribute to the dream I carry within me throughout my life. One woven laying under a tree, gazing at the clouds, as my grandpa brought clouds to life through sensational stories. The Cloud Carrier reminds us that dreams, like clouds, are never still. They travel with us, grow with us, and change shape along the way.

LA SCALA DEL SAPERE
Roots, the spiral of DNA, the human being, the clouds and the world.
The roots symbolize the past, where DNA and our origins begin. The human figure that supports it represents the present, carrying what came before while reaching toward what lies ahead. Above the clouds represents the future: the human being reaches and rises above the clouds of a world of endless possibilities.
Each sculpture is made by hand, making every piece unique yet connected to the others, much like humanity itself.
Like clouds drifting across the world, my sculpture speaks a universal language, crossing borders and sparking imagination.
The figure is neither male nor female. It represents us all: a presence that supports, strives, or reaches toward a purpose, whatever that purpose may be.
