thanks to the action of a hand that opens the sheets.
It looks outside but, at the same time it keeps inside a secret,
almost as if the volume was a personal unshareable diary.
There are many possible interpretations in Paola Grizi's works.
Communication occurs mainly through emotions and moods rather than being didactic and rational.
The eye emerge seamlessly from flows of thoughts, between the pages full of characters expressed in a language that can be understood intuitively only by the unconscious.
It is a tangible book, with visibly engraved characters, yet the words do not clarify the concepts but, on the contrary, the words makes you imagine new scenarios, in a story to be discovered.

Literature
This sculpture is very introspective, it speaks of a secret garden. If we do not all have a diary, we all have a secret garden, a part of us, of our thoughts, of our feelings, which we do not reveal and which marks our singularity. This hidden face, preserves our intimacy, it is very important. It should not be confused with our shadow, it contains a lot of light. Unveiling it implies a singular choice that can only take place in an atmosphere of respect, trust and love in the broadest sense. It combines our fragility and our strength. It is our inner treasure and the artist represents it with great grace and poetry.
