NOSTALGIA. MATTER OF EMOTIONS

Just as every stone caressed by the waves changes shape, every land touched by the sea undergoes transformation.

Transformation, evolution, change: a necessary process that preserves, in new forms, the primordial essence of the past. The sea is the great sculptor of time: it collects fragments, smoothes edges and creates new narratives. What we have been does not disappear, but is transformed into a persistent echo, a nostalgia that is not melancholy, but poetry: the celebration of what we were and which, today, shapes our present.

Nostalgia, here, is a metaphor: a bridge between memory and hope, between what has been and what could be. Like a wave carrying fragments of distant stories, the works on display will be reflections of places, experiences, people and dreams.

‘Nostalgia. Matter of Emotions' is not just an intellectual exploration: it is an invitation to feel, to relive those moments that define who we are. Through art, we want to celebrate the invisible, the unspoken, the intangible power of emotions that bind us to others and to the world.
