The isolated masks

BARBAGALLO EMANUELE E PRIVITERA PIETRO

DALLE STELLE ALLE STALLE

A satire on a society obsessed with appearances, where the donkey symbol of simplicity and sacrifice—suddenly becomes a star. After years of silent work, it climbs a ladder of golden clouds to reach the heights of success, cheered on by politicians and influencers. Each rung is marked with words like “fame” and “wealth,” reflecting contemporary obsession with image. Above, a star-shaped microphone represents the world of entertainment and social media, where anyone can become famous for a moment. Irony and redemption meet: only those who remain authentic truly shine.
