This poster was realized starting with a three-dimensional object, exploring organic and geometric forms, the relationship between line and solid, as well as other contrasting or harmonious forms. The objective of this exploration was to produce dynamic, simplified visual descriptions of the object integrating it with words and text that communicate an aspect of the object itself. 

Conceptual poster design: METAMORPHOSIS

To best express this concept, I was inspired by an epic-mythological poem by Publio Ovidio Nasone, "Metamorphosis". Through the narrative voice of Pythagoras, the author exposes the hypothesis of a vision of the world in which the forms assumed by things are not fixed, but changeable: they change continuously, each transforming into another, in a perennial process of metamorphosis.
It is in this Pythagorean vision that the problem of death is framed: the body of every man dies, and with it his identity disappears, but the soul, in itself, does not die, survives precisely through the multiple forms that it will go to taking on through the infinite and incessant process of transmigration and metempsychosis.

"omnia mutantur, nihil interit: errat et illinc
huc venit, hinc illuc, et quoslibet occupat artus
spiritus eque feris humana in corpora transit
inque feras noster, nec tempore deperit ullo,
utque novis facilis signatur cera figuris
nec manet ut fuerat nec formam servat eandem,
sed tamen ipsa eadem est, animam sic semper eandem
esse, sed in varias doceo migrare figuras." 

Publius Ovidius Naso Metamorphoseon Libri, Liber XV
