Salome – journey to the center of the self

Salome fulfills her mother’s will by asking the king for the Baptist’s head on a silver platter. Whether it is so as not to get her hands dirty or because the gruesome skull horrifies her, the plate is Salome’s distinctive object, symbolizing the dissociation between action and will.

In the same way, it happens that the ‘ego asks our self to distort itself and the submissive response puts the individual itself on that plate.

The work is created with master “Frantumi” Aniello Smilzo. The new colored forms, with concentric and dilating surgical mark, fit in and overlap with the harmonious interweaving of the lines that define the natural (anatomical) muscle bundles of the face.
In the background, the shadow of the dancing woman can be glimpsed: it is Salome, a reference to that part of the personality that is influential, fragile and insecure.
