The sculpture combines symbolism and irony, capturing the viewer's attention and prompting reflection on multiple levels of meaning.

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

Using this sculpture to represent the world itself, with planet Earth balanced on the middle finger, adds another layer of meaning. It could be interpreted as a critique of the global challenges and sociopolitical tensions we face, or as an alarm call about the fragility of our planet. In this context, the hand takes on a role of responsibility and power, almost as if the artist were saying that the solution to these problems is in our hands.

In its boldness and provocative nature, this sculpture offers a starting point for discussion and reflection on the contemporary world, the challenges we face, and our role in shaping it. It is a work of art that can spark a wide range of reactions and discussions, just as many contemporary artworks seek to do.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, in the Marche region, the Italian artist followed a path that, through studies in surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with a craftsman specializing in resin sculptures. There, a growing need to find himself and give free rein to his creativity took shape.
His works are sold worldwide, and he collaborates with galleries in Italy and across Europe.
His art is widely appreciated and is a must-have for collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary paintings and sculptures.
“It's never easy to classify your own art. I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of looking at what surrounds me, and rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable.”
