The Greek goddess of love, born from the sea foam according to Hesiod, reveals herself in all her splendour. Carlo Zoli invites us into the flowing world of Aphrodite, symbol of fertility and sensuality, revered as the epitome of beauty. He presents her by highlighting her shapely forms emerging from the waves, rendered in curls of metallic material. The use of new materials, such as resins, creates the effect of the sea and the foam generated by the wind and marine currents beneath her. A small golden seahorse peeks out from the surface, catching the gentle gaze of the goddess, who admires it with emotion, creating a captivating interplay of harmonious reflections. This piece is a hymn to the joy of living in connection with Mother Nature and in harmony with the universe, whose elements, according to the myth, are drawn to each other through Aphrodite, towards the creation of a new beginning.
