Il settimo cielo
The Seventh Heaven, located on the bell tower of the Church of Ronco, symbolizes a spiritual journey through six ascending circles, culminating in the seventh circle, the sun, a symbol of hope and divine. Made of oxidized copper, it invites us to reflect on the connection between the human and the spiritual.
The seventh heaven is located on the bell tower of the Church of Ronco.
The expression "seventh heaven" has its origins in the Christian religious tradition: it represents a concept of deep joy and spirituality.
It is said to be "in seventh heaven" when one is very happy.
The expression comes from the Bible: the "Kingdom of Heaven" is a place of divine light, opposed to the earthly world of darkness.
For many philosophies and religions, heaven is the space that unites natural phenomena, the immensity of the universe, and spirituality.
The work is composed of six circles that rise upwards and become smaller as they go: it is a metaphor for the spiritual journey.
Each circle represents a passage towards a more immaterial dimension closer to the divine.
The sun in heaven is the seventh circle.
The sun completes the work and symbolizes hope, resurrection for Christianity, the source of life for nature, and for many philosophies and cultures.
This work invites reflection on the relationship between the human and the spiritual and inexplicable.
Material: Shaped copper plates with induced oxidations.
