Light...
The most iconic concept that associates all people together. The one on which everything and everyone indiscriminately depends. It is an absolute, positive and objective value with a very significant symbolic extent/ meaning. It is a true icon, so powerful, so magical, so honest and enigmatic, in which the body is immersed and is lost, like in a fascinating maternal embrace. The organic body that comes from the evolutive combination of light and water keeps a mysterious energy in itself. A fragment of that light, the "liquid" form, speaks about the Soul. In the womb of the Women, the sacred temple of life, the spirit finds the gap between the material world and the unfathomable dimension of the supernatural and, at the moment of conception, those two lightening sources meet again in a wonderful miraculous union.

Design Concept: Rastafun
Icon: Bob Marley
Give an insight of your design concept:
The central topic is the Rasta culture and the positivism carried on by Bob Marley and his reggae. The power of his vibrating rhythm linked to the African traditional atmosphere (in particular the Ethiopian culture), evoked in the Rastafarian doctrine and in every song together with also the colorful Jamaican nature, are summarized from the handmade and colorful dreads, beads and bells.

Design Concept: Continuum
Icon: Time
Give an insight of your design concept:
I chose to represent time as an icon, bearing a dimension that conceives and measures the passage of events in our lives today, including a shadow mysticism that has fascinated and still fascinates the human soul. A mystical and transcendental, almighty and inquisitor, tough and generous icon, at the same time my aim was to provide a new and personal reading of this secular and impalpable figure, without form and without a name, indefinite and unavoidable.
