PARABELLUM

Three ears of wheat: 'Past, present and future of our species', the timeless symbol of wisdom, toil and blood. Each ear contains memories and secrets between man and nature, between political conscience and production models. A profound reflection on the contemporary theme of war and wheat, a historical pair of great symbolic power. An archaic metaphor of life and death, wheat returns to the centre of attention in its dual meaning: primary foodstuff and instrument of war strategy. A corridor of speculation and power, it also marks the end point of a food system that has become a geo-political game.
"If the grain of wheat, fallen into the earth, does not die, it remains alone" this parable sheds light on the seed of life and the rebirth of peace.
