The mural, inspired by Vittorio De Seta’s cinematic ode “Golden Parable”, transforms the laborious act of wheat harvesting into a sublime celebration of Nature’s bounty. We see farmers spread among the Sicilian fields as they harvest wheat. The men load the sheaves of wheat onto mules and transport them to the threshing floors. The air is filled with songs of laborers, calling upon the sun, the wind and the Divinity to sustain their weary animals. In the evening, the work is done. The farmers fill the bags, load them on the mules, and return to the village. The artist immortalizes a Sicilian woman, her ebony hair flowing like the dark, seeming to offer us the fruit of her labor. She stands as a graceful embodiment of the land, holding the separated grains of wheat. The image of the horse, the enduring symbol of the partnership between man and beast, tells of the work that precedes the last act. In this work, labor transforms into artistry, and presented with grace, reflecting that Woman is Nature. The profound beauty of rural existence and female nature.
