"Sometimes it happens that the "finished artworks" impose a sort of detachment. We admire them as spectators of an act made by others ... that we may also like very much ... but for which we substitute empathy mostly with the desire for possession. FRAME project is the attempt to go beyond this distance, showing the work in progress that all we are brought to virtually finish. Through the reproduction of portions of larger artworks I reveal the true history of the object. Made of work, passion and value... Ideas in progress but power in essence, yet still to be accomplished. Intriguing and curious works in their rarefied dimension of" unfinished "objects, but custodians of important messages". "The Achill sculpture of the Frame Project, in the symbolism of the hawk, a noble animal that flies high in the sky while maintaining its legendary acute view. It reminds us of the importance of pursuing significant projects and not always chasing urgent things. A warning of conscience to preserve our life rich in content and meaning".
