Fire transforms everything, even marble, the material which the artist has chosen as expressive weapon, shaping it until it seems to be wood, burnt and blackened by the flames. So everyday objects, such as the pallets, matches or the large packing cases in which one encases fragile things, the matches and the envelopes, made of white Carrara marble, are then worked with special inks that penetrate the material without denaturing it, but rather enhancing the veins. At the end the illusion is perfect, the objects become "wooden", more perishable but made in this way "eternal" by the strength and the noble nature of the marble.
