Its form, reminiscent of an eye, silently watches and evokes the fragments of monumental ancient statues – an eye, a hand, a finger – each carrying deep significance. The crater embodies the memory and threat of past and future eruptions, balancing the tension between the ordinary (lava stone used in city pavements like Naples and Pompeii) and the primordial. On the back, a thin, curved fossilized sheet contains traces of early mollusk-like organisms from hundreds of millions of years ago, quietly anchoring the work’s symbolic gravity from volcanic birth to the emergence of life.
