A Prayer of Love
Two good friends of mine are about to marry. Such an important event made me think of their long relationship and of a way to celebrate it.
I composed a box, which works like Ex-Voto: those beautiful objects it is possible to see inside churches. An Ex-Voto is an offering to a saint. A way to wish a prosper future to ourselves or to someone else.
I’m not religious but this is a part of religion that fascinates me a lot.
I wrote a short poem and combined it in a travel sculpture.
(To find out more about travel sculptures, visit my website: www.collectionsofsand.com ).
In order to have a proper Ex-Voto I chose a bracelet I love and I wrapped it inside the box with the other objects.
Thanks to Paola, Riccardo and Tommasina, who inspired this box-valise.
