Nature

Deeply linked to the thought of the author, the Collections Humans Nature explore the symbol as an ancestral means of communication with the diverse levels of Reality.

Sculpture becomes the vibrating centre and emanation but also the “womb”, a cosy, inviting space where to listen, experience, think, contemplate, know.

Through symbols, human beings live simultaneously their immanence and transcendence, as part of an osmotic process between the inner and the outer Reality, that reveals themselves to themselves and ushers them in the universe, linking them to Everything.

It is the symbol that, in penetrating and hence exciting and dynamizing psyche, breaks the mould of constructive reasoning, restores the ability of being aware of being in any form and restores Man to his divine dimension.

Kosmosandalon – “cosmos’ sandal” – was the name of the orchid for the ancient Greeks; a flower of delicate and regal refinement, a symbol of spiritual perfection, beauty and harmony, emblematic of the profoundly human tension towards the elusive, the sacred and the splendour of the divine.

I volti di Kosmosandalon / The Faces of Kosmosandalon represents a clear homage to classical antiquity and philosophical reflection, with its fascinating and alluring origin myths and its powerful imagery which still today reveals the meaning behind humanity: an imposing metal architecture of petals and sepals, concave and convex forms created through the expert working of mirror polished stainless steel, copper and bronze, designed to embrace the viewers and lead them in a reflective voyage in search of lost divinity.

A tree is like a human being, an image of the essence of earth and sky that combines the higher with the lower, the spirit with the matter, the male with the female.

ARBOR VITAE
Di fronte al tuo mistero…
Di fronte alla lentezza inesorabile del tuo eterno ciclo
di nascita-crescita-morte-rinascita, senza fine né principio.
Depositaria di tutta la conoscenza, testimone dell’intera evoluzione,
madre di tutti gli esseri animati ed inanimati.
Cerco un dialogo e osservo i tuoi moti, ascolto i tuoi canti,
vorrei svelare i tuoi segreti, vorrei imparare secondo i tuoi tempi.
Uomo o animale, albero o seme, crisalide o farfalla,
dal più grande al più piccolo, tutto cambia e si trasforma
ed io che ti invoco, desidero esser tuo!

Laudata si’, mi Signora, per frate Focu,
per lo quale ennallumini la nocte:
ed ello è bello et iocundo et robustoso et forte.

Laudata si’, mi Signora, per sora nostra matre terra,
la quale ne sustenta et governa,
et produce diversi fructi con coloriti flori et herba.

Alessandro Rametta
