SULLE ALI DELLA FANTASIA

The work pays homage to the power of imagination and the strength of storytelling. At the center, a woman reads a book in a world desolated by the lack of fantasy. The scene is enriched with fantastic elements that manifest the human desire to dream and explore new worlds through reading.
The woman reading symbolizes resilience and hope in an era where fantasy seems to disappear. Her book is a portal that allows her to escape the gray reality surrounding her. Behind her, imagination materializes in a sea dragon and a fantastic horse, representing different dimensions of fantasy: the sea dragon evokes epic adventures, while the horse recalls the beauty of imaginary journeys.
Behind them, a fantastical ship, richly decorated and full of life, hosts elves and wizards engaged in activities that celebrate magic and imagination. Some scan the horizon, while others weave spells defying everyday reality.
"On the Wings of Fantasy" is an invitation to never abandon one's imagination. Reading is represented as a sacred act, capable of freeing the mind and transporting it to wonderful places. The contrast between the solitary woman and the vibrant world created by her imagination underscores the importance of dreams in overcoming life's difficulties.
The figure of the woman reading becomes a symbol of hope, a beacon in an otherwise colorless world. The central message of the work is clear: fantasy is essential for living fully; it is not just entertainment, but a powerful tool for personal and collective transformation.
