The sculpture is a combination of symbolism and irony that captures the viewer's attention and invites reflection on various levels of meaning.

First of all, the gesture of the raised hand with the middle finger raised is universally recognized as a sign of defiance or rebellion, a bold way to send a strong and unequivocal message. Here, this gesture is amplified by the fact that the hand supports the world itself, suggesting a kind of rejection or critique of the world as it is. It is a visual interpretation of frustration or dissent toward aspects of our contemporary world.

The use of this sculpture to represent the world itself, with the planet Earth resting on the middle finger, adds an additional layer of meaning. It could be interpreted as a critique of global challenges and socio-political tensions we face, or as a cry of alarm about the fragility of our planet. The hand, in this context, assumes a role of responsibility and power, almost as if the artist is saying that the solution to these problems lies in our hands.

In its audacity and provocation, this sculpture offers a trigger for discussion and reflection on the contemporary world, on the challenges we face, and on our role in shaping it. It is a work of art capable of eliciting a wide range of reactions and discussions, just as many contemporary artworks aim to do.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that, between studies of geometer and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There arose the increasingly strong need to find himself and unleash his creativity.

His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.
His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings.
"It is never easy to classify one’s own art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
