"Testa d'argilla" is an “open work,” shaped by chance and time, which mold its form and meaning.
The sculpture, made from raw clay, reflects the human condition, its identity, and its relationship with the external environment. The sun, wind, and rain will gradually wear away the work, returning it to the earth. In doing so, it will not only stimulate reflection on human existence in nature, but also raise the question of the necessity and permanence of monuments in public spaces.
During LanaLive, the artist from Mantua, Roberta Busato, will erect her Testa d'argilla in the garden of the nursing home and then allow it to naturally decompose.
