What is it about?
Venice is a living brain, complex and fragile, with canals and bridges between arts and sciences. Each brain is a seed for the future! My drawing is named after the "Loidoicea maldivica," the largest seed in nature. The corpus callosum in the human brain allows the connection between cerebral hemispheres, necessary for creativity. In my drawing, the Rialto bridge in Venice becomes a connecting element between fields of human knowledge and artistic expression.
