About this artwork
The volcano is a metaphor for the power relations and social structures that reorganise and change over long periods of time, similar to human value communities and nations. In contrast to short-lived events, the permanence of the volcano remains as a symbol of the long-term and eternal. The "Mosaic Etna" series ("Etna", "Etna Hands", "Etna Flowers I+II", "Etna Bodies" etc.) portrays… the beauty of the "good old earth“.

« I fathom, I sort, I decode and formulate, I try to get it all back into shape again and again, an endless attempt, like the incomplete, infinite Periodic Table in Chemistry. »
