The show features works developed over a year of research and dialogues, offering a poetic interpretation of diverse local histories and figures. The series 'Silver Monsters' comprises embroidered drawings on fabric of various sizes, depicting fragments of Sicilian history from past eras. 'Studio' is a wooden lectern paying homage to a detail from Antonello da Messina's painting 'L'Annunciata.'
