ROOTS 
Material and technique: lost wax casting – after making the wax model, red bronze casting was carried out. Oxidation was carried out during the finishing phase. Lichen is stabilized.  Dimensions: about cm. 5 x 5 – made in the shape of a sphere.


Roots are essential for a rebirth. Real roots and metaphorical roots. Without a past we cannot aspire to a rebirth. The ring can be worn both with lichens, the symbol for excellence “green” and unusual in the natural context, resistant even to fire, and without. Oxidation gives the idea of the dark part of ROOTS, in our past there can certainly be also painful memories, but on their side the growth for a bright present and future and the bronze therefore becomes shiny.
