DIRECTION TO
2024
Sculptures

"Direction to" is a light sculpture by Emilio Ferro that, with its essentiality and linearity, becomes a symbolic bridge between the physical direction it indicates and the inner world of the observer.

​

The artwork invites each individual to find a personal connection with the direction it points toward. It is not merely an arrow indicating a geographic location but a guide that evokes emotions, memories, desires, and aspirations. For every observer, the path suggested by the sculpture becomes a symbol: a destination to reach, a goal to strive for, or perhaps a place from the past that continues to live in memory.

​

Every element of nature, every living being, is part of a continuous flow, a cosmic dance that never stops. Everything in the universe is in constant motion, a flow that extends beyond physical space into the spiritual, emotional, and personal realms. Each individual is on an ongoing journey, seeking meaning, connections, and growth.

​

The route indicated by the sculpture is not just a destination but a universal metaphor. It represents the infinite journey of existence, made up of departures and returns, changes and transformations. Every observer, when facing the artwork, is invited to reflect on their own trajectory, their inner destinations, and the meaning of their path.

​

"Direction to" celebrates the ceaseless dynamism of life, offering a space for contemplation and rediscovering the connection between the physical world and the inner self. A silent guide that illuminates not only a road but also a personal and universal journey.
