Nightmare’s Instruments

These are pieces with a saw, a knife, and tools to cut and kill trees.
They are nightmares for the trees and
I use them to talk about the violence and fear, in a metaphoric sense.
Let the Axe Sleep is the title of the piece to the left;
Regrets is to the right
 

Reconciliation’s instruments

Here are the pieces that I make using things that come from living in the country:
The bucket of Water Flows, the screw of
In the Honor of the Beech Trees (to the right) or the Board of Not only of bread.  

Through these pieces, I try to get a common point between nature and humans.
We have to use nature to live. We have to continuously make sacrifices.
People are part of the alimentary chain:
we are at the same time everybody’s predators and preys.
The problem is a matter of respect to Nature, using it only when we have to.
 Few persons in today's World have close contact with Nature.
At the same time, to live Nature’s rhythm is very difficult.
Life in the countryside, in the past centuries, was very hard and painful.
This is the “box” where I ideally write the word “Peace”.
Peace between the Sky, the Earth and Me (Me as a Human being).
