A conceptual motivation distinguishes this work by Francesca Maroni, characterized, among other things, by an evident skill in metalworking and a singular visual articulation. An abstract motivation that becomes symbolic the moment the work originates as a visual translation of a contingent content related to one’s habitat and daily life and becomes a spiritual reading of a circumstantiated context of the soul.
