Sea Turtles from the Past Project
Art Project
Sea Turtles from the Past is an art project that involves the creation and staging of various works of art, mostly in form of an installation or experiential, in some cases installed independently, others in collaboration with other artists.
In Sea Turtles from the Past turtles who once lived in the Gulf of Cagliari, in our seas and oceans, return back to remind us that may still be there, and that if we will not respect the environment they will disappear altogether, from Sardinia, the Mediterranean , from the planet. Sardinia and the entire planet have an incredibly rich natural heritage, to protect and enhance. Many species of turtles frequent the coastal waters of Sardinia and one of them still reproduce around the island.
In a broader sense this project wants to recall that distracted from commitments and daily rhythms we are slowly losing the most precious gift of humanity.
The turtle has an important symbolic role. In Africa it is a symbol of wisdom, prudence, power. In Indian mythology, the turtle is a symbol of stability and regeneration of man. In China, the turtle is considered the starting point of evolution. From India to China, the turtle has an important symbolic role: is the image of the universe and contributes to its stability.
