The miniature floats

PUGLISI GABRIELE   (Cat. A)

LA FIERA DELLE EMOZIONI: MERCANTI DI UMANITA'

In a surreal market, feelings are bought and sold like commodities. The work depicts a society that has turned love, fear, and joy into products, losing touch with its own soul. At the center of the scene, an ambiguous merchant weighs liquid emotions, while a desperate crowd struggles to purchase fragments of artificial life. Only a little girl, hidden amid the chaos, lets fly a kite made of true emotions—a symbol of purity and freedom. The float is a poetic critique of the emotional alienation of our times and an invitation to rediscover the sincerity of authentic feelings, those that cannot be sold but must be lived.
