THE PERCEPTION OF THE BEAUTY OF A PERFECT SPHERICAL SHAPE IS AN EXAMPLE OF SCULPTURE THAT CAN TRAVEL THROUGH TIME AND SPACE. It is well known that we humans are children of the stars. A meteorite from Space brought molecules to earth (abiogenesis) through which the first chains of amino acids formed billions of years ago. The cells of the human body are interconnected and give life to the individual.
In daily life, all of humanity is interconnected through the internet and social media. Social media has helped us confront solitude during the pandemic of 2020. The net, used with intelligence, will unite the inhabitants of the earth and the moon. My Cell reminds us of the constellations of Giotto in the Chapel of Scrovegni in Padova, built with precious materials always used by artists to represent the sacred and the spiritual: blue lapis lazuli, gold and silver. The deep blue represents infinity in the objective and philosophical dimension.
Human beings have always searched for answers regarding the moon, the stars, and the celestial bodies.
In the future, everything will be connected through virtual reality, but uncertainty and fear for our fragility will always remain. My Cell reminds us that we are part of the Universe, notwithstanding our limits.
