AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In the past there existed a word that does not find a perfect translation in modern languages: pothos. It indicated the desire for something that is not present. Not necessarily a person. It could be a distant home, a place never visited, a memory, or an as-yet unexplored possibility. Unlike love or passion, pothos did not arise from possession: it arose from distance. For this reason the ancients considered it one of the most powerful and enduring feelings. Perhaps Mediterranean longing is not about what we have before our eyes. Perhaps it concerns what continues to attract our attention even when we cannot reach it.

- Originality: Each work is an original piece, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
- Condition: The work is professionally mounted on a wooden frame and is ready to hang, without need for further interventions or processing.
- Protection: Careful packaging with professional materials to ensure maximum protection during transport.
- Shipping: Fast shipping. For shipments outside the European Union, delivery times may vary depending on local customs procedures.

Some images may show the work inserted into illustrative settings, to facilitate viewing in different contexts or with different framing solutions. The proportions are consistent with the real dimensions of the work.
