The dynamite, apparently harmless, was designed to have violent and devastating effects.
We know that its power, if released, is capable of creating immeasurable damage in a flash and then subsiding immediately afterwards. If we could imagine channeling its dynamism into a dense network that guides it and that extends the intensity of its explosive power, how long would its impetuous discharge last and in what way? Would it still do damage?
Everything, word or deed, has a correct and an incorrect form of being used.
It is precisely from this concept that Dynamite is born: even if at first it can arouse fear mixed with exaltation, conflicting feelings, it is actually the emblem of a system of guiding principles that allow energy and emotion to flow out and to convey in an orderly flow which never leads in the fury of a bomb but, on the contrary, creates freedom and well-being. The round tubes with a diameter of 40 mm representing the sticks come together to create the body of the dynamite. The fuses are molded and then welded to the head of the sticks. The work was signed on steel using the engraving technique and, finally, it was protected with transparent paint to keep its natural appearance alive.
