Vita

This artwork features silphium, a frog, and floating bubbles.

Silphium is an extinct Mediterranean plant historically valued by ancient Romans to enhance fertility.

Frogs serve as a classical symbol of transformation and fertility across ancient myths.

Floating bubbles represent the circle regarded by ancient Romans as the perfect geometric form and symbolise the continuous cycle of life.

Together, these elements weave together Roman mythology, history, and sacred geometry into a surrealistic composition.
