Collection Concept: SINTESI
The exploration of the absence of movement
-
In the Italian language Sintesi means a summary, to keep only what’s important in a concept and let go of the rest. But it also has the meaning of synthesis, which means the composition or combination of parts or elements so as to form a whole. In a moment like the one we are currently living, in which traveling and researching new things are not only discouraged but also dangerous, the desire to evade and move is stronger than ever.
All of these aspects transpire in this collection which embodies evasion, and the exploration of the absence of movement, trough a union of elements gathered in time that assembled become nostalgic landscapes in both an evocative and visual sense.
