The future of relationships
BEHIND THE SCENE
A leading strategic consulting company invited me to conduct a two-session workshop* on the Future of Relationships, and to create an artwork inspired by its outcomes.
MY IDEA
The workshop, centered on the use of collage as a tool for reflection and imagination, generated intense visual and verbal exchanges. It was a moment of mutual openness that left meaningful traces, which became the foundation for my artistic work.
We questioned the limits that sometimes shape our relationships, the fears that inhabit us, the boundaries—forced or self-imposed—and a strong desire emerged: to give vision to fluidity.
The final artwork consists of four modules, designed so that this same sense of fluidity guides the gaze of the viewer, from the first to the last. Each module opens up a different dimension of encountering the Other, within a changing time.
The digitally created work will be exhibited at the company’s Milan headquarters by the end of 2025.
Module 1 – The encounter: staying in the flow and opening to the Other
Two individuals look at and see one another. Each intersects with the other and, through this encounter, neither remains the same.
Module 2 – Emotional intelligence that lights up the world
Like a great light shining over everything, emotional intelligence becomes a beacon and a glimmer of hope for a future of acceptance and understanding.
Module 3 – Carrying new flags
The symbol of the flag is powerful, almost archetypal. Each individual carries unique qualities to be shown without fear. A shared wealth, for a more open and loving future.
Module 4 – Different paths meet
Each person is their own path. Trajectories intertwine and embrace, giving life to something new, common, fertile.
The workshop was carried out within the framework of my educational project SMALL ACADEMIA.
