Created on the occasion of my solo exhibition in Cesena, the Spazio dei Mille Spazi project represents an experimental exploration of the relationship between home and dreams, inspired by the ideas of Gaston Bachelard.

Made with local clay and shaped like a starry sky, the project aims to create a “Maison-Univers” of the mind—a symbolic space that offers refuge and protection to any being. Each star becomes a window into a dream, a point of light connecting the intimacy of personal shelter with the vastness of the universe, a place of quiet and boundless inspiration.

Accompanied by a composition for cello, this installation-drawing not only explores Bachelard’s ideas and my perception of space but also witnessed an unexpected and symbolic event: a cicada underwent its metamorphosis, unfolding its wings right within the work. This small miracle reinforced my belief and hope that art can be both a refuge and a catalyst for transformation, for any being, regardless of its origins.
