Montem et antrum
The work represents the connection between land and mountain with two oxidized copper triangles. The triangle with the vertex pointing downwards symbolizes the Earth's belly, while the one pointing upwards represents the mountain and the creative force, evoking the origin of copper between feminine and masculine polarities.
A cave is a hole in the side of a mountain.
When the cave is used to extract copper, or other metals or gemstones, it is called a mine.
The artwork is composed of two triangles in oxidized copper that shine in the light.
They are aqua green, the characteristic color of copper oxidation.
The triangle is a symbol full of meanings that come from a long time ago, it was even used in prehistoric art.
It has a different meaning depending on the position of the vertex: the triangle with the vertex downwards represents the belly of the Earth, the triangle with the vertex upwards instead represents the mountain, but it is also a symbol of the force that fertilizes the earth.
According to ancient pagan beliefs, copper was born from the interaction between these two natural polarities: feminine and masculine.
Material: Copper sheets shaped with induced oxidations.
