Emilia Faro's 'The Inner Castle' Explores Psyche and Freedom in Milan
Emilia Faro (born 1976, Catania) presents 'The Inner Castle' at Galleria Bianchi Zardin in Milan, a solo exhibition curated by Domenico De Chirico. The show draws inspiration from Saint Teresa of Avila's 'The Interior Castle', using art as a tool for introspection and self-discovery. Faro's works—including watercolors, sculptures, and installations—feature natural elements like water and palm trees as metaphors for the soul. The 'LOVE' series contrasts spirituality with earthly instincts, using horsehair arranged around empty circles to symbolize energy flow and the irrepressible need for love. The video installation 'On Liberty' features a woman reciting passages from John Stuart Mill's 1859 essay 'On Liberty', addressing contemporary threats to freedom of thought and expression. The exhibition runs until April 30, 2022.
