This work is a tribute to the primordial and destructive force of the Neapolitan land. Vesevo (the ancient name for Mount Vesuvius) personifies the volcano as an anthropomorphic entity emerging from a magmatic mass. The vibrant red glaze flows over the figure, caught between creation and destruction, as it holds up a spherical element suggesting the genesis of a new world or an ancestral burden. The sculpture blends the plastic tradition of ceramics with an expressionist and almost "cyber-fantasy" aesthetic, consistent with the artist's exploration of imaginary worlds and territorial reality.
