Realization for the Symposium of Predaia 2020:
The sculpture created by Emanuela has the title “Nature in dance”
The work is inspired by the flora and fauna of alpine nature, inspired by its beauty.
The shape evokes a body, but also a plant. Flora and fauna come together in total symbiosis. The figure moves slowly as in a dance, stretching the body in different directions. It is a living sculpture, in a visual and organic movement, different and original at the same time and as often nature does, it surprises us.
The symbolic reference to nature is highlighted in the shape of the drop-shaped flowers, which, full of energy and life, project themselves outside the main figure as in the period of flowering.
The sculpture expresses the strong relationship between nature and man.
The work as a source of inspiration for the conservation and protection of nature and the environment that surrounds us.
