Tempera and oil on OSB panel, unique piece. Worlds liberated from OSB tables. We die every day, living, this is the thought of Seneca who says "the last day is only the end of dying" the philosopher claimed that our death is already present in all the days we have left behind.
Animals, which "lose the pieces" in a sort of destruction of matter, represent precisely this daily dying. Some are still almost whole, others almost totally disappeared, yet the pieces that lose, turn into new creatures.
