Semina by Sara Ricciardi

“In Italian, Pianto is the past participle of the verb to cry, it speaks of a pain already passed through, left behind. Pianto is also the present tense of the verb to plant, it tells of a new energy that takes root and opens up to the future. The tears we shed spread like seeds on the soil of our bodies. We fertilize. The seed is a simulacrum. The seed is a shield. It has armor to defend itself, furrows and fur to feed on. How much audacity, how much strength in giving birth to our present every day” - Sara Ricciardi.

Semina is the series of 38 limited edition sculpture-vases created by Rometti and Sara Ricciardi, showcased for the first time during the Contemporary Cluster exhibition. An army of emotions that exudes an ancestral power and a visceral connection with nature.
