L'Attenzione

Little Red Riding Hood hugs a humble wolf looking at us resolutely from afar. In the foreground, her disheveled grandmother is ready to leave to join, the pannier on her shoulder. With her right hand she removes the scarf, showing us a sectioned heart that generates and supports a semi-bare, floating and vermilion tree as in the iconography of the sacred heart.

It is a modern and environmentalist version of the Grimm fairy tale, a fighting Little Riding Hood who welcomes and does not demonize the presence of the wolf in the woods. On a symbolic level, the wolf no longer represents danger and the unknown, on the contrary evoking a return to nature and a complicated but necessary rebalancing of the ecosystem. The forest has disappeared, the screams of a few branches bent by deforestation and the damage caused by pollution remain. The elderly woman guards and shows the tree as part of her vital apparatus. A twisted and diseased shrub, which however still lives.

It is necessary to pay attention to nature, take care of it, let yourself be pervaded, today more than ever.
