The Future has been assassinated
The Future has been assassinated is a group of five different pieces of works that relate to each other. The starting point was a van journey from Castellammare del Golfo to Palermo (Sicily) where I collected various items and eventually analysed and processed them into works of art. All the items/object tell their personal stories which I attempted to manifest within the context and circumstances of how I came about them. Processing is an important part which makes me part of their journey, their connections.
