Belongs to the 'Camuno Cycle' (*see more info on profile):
The proverb, which to this day is the only expression of oral tradition, acts as a bridge between the past and the present, and stands as a council of knowledge based on experience. Here, the proverb becomes huge, symbolic, caught between the web of threads and knots. Rupestrian symbols are placed side by side and mixed with present-day 'symbols', becoming one, becoming present.
