A traveling project through the streets of Rome, searching for ancient knockers, protomes, and doorbells.
A silent guardian celebrates the profound meaning of dwelling, probing its most private nature, that of the domestic and the everyday.
Positioned on the threshold, a physical representation of a boundary, the figurative element of the lion-shaped doorbell evokes an ancestral call of protection and belonging.
The lion’s face, like ours, is turned towards the innermost part of the vessel, a container of symbolic space.
The geometries of the figure, impressing upon the material, serve as a portal, revealing its innermost substrate, showing us reality in an organic and deconstructed form.
The sculpture is enclosed at the top.
