Una sinagoga poggiata su una roccia sospesa nel cielo, che fluttua leggera sulle acque dell'Arsenale: è un grande pallone aerostatico gonfio di elio, che sfida la forza di gravità.

Today, A Song for the Snow Lion begins its journey into the world. We are honored to share that our film will have its World Premiere at the legendary Telluride Film Festival.

The film began with a Bhutanese folktale carried through generations: wherever glaciers endure, snow lions are said to roam, mythical guardians with fur as white as snow and manes as blue as the morning sky. Such stories have taught the Bhutanese to regard glaciers and mountains not simply as landscapes, but as sacred, living worlds worthy of reverence and protection. Perhaps it is no coincidence that Bhutan remains home to the last unclimbed mountain peaks on Earth.

What began as a folktale became an extraordinary journey with Yo-Yo Ma into Lunana, one of the most remote communities on Earth. There, among disappearing glaciers, we reflected on something much larger: our relationship with nature, with one another, and the truth that no life exists independently of another.

A Song for the Snow Lion is a film about interdependence, and what we stand to lose when we forget that we belong to the natural world.

The recent devastating flash floods in Nepal remind us that the melting of the Himalayan glaciers is not a distant warning. It is happening now. The Himalayas are speaking to us, and what happens in these mountains will not remain in these mountains.

To everyone who walked with us, climbed with us, and believed in this film, carrying it from Bhutan to the world… Kadrinche la. Our gratitude goes beyond the sky and the earth.

Body

"Body" brings together sculptures and drawings created during my three-year study at the Florence Academy of Art. Although these works were born within an academic context, for me they represent something much more personal than a simple technical exercise. Together, they tell the story of a learning journey: not only how to construct a form, but above all how to truly observe.

After graduating in 2023 from the Faculty of Sculpture at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, I came to Florence seeking a deeper understanding of figurative sculpture. The Academy's rigorous approach to drawing and sculpting from life offered me the opportunity to slow down, observe carefully, and understand the body through patient and prolonged observation.

For me, the human body is never just anatomy. It is presence. Every pose belongs to a person; every gesture holds something of their existence. Working from life means spending hours in silent attention before another human being. Over time, observation becomes something more than analysis: it becomes an encounter.

When I model clay, this relationship becomes particularly tangible. The process shifts constantly between seeing and touching, between the living body before me and the form slowly emerging beneath my hands. Clay preserves every decision, every hesitation, every correction. It retains the time dedicated to observation. In this sense, each sculpture is not only the representation of a body, but also a testimony to the attention paid to it.

The title *Body* refers to the body as both subject and experience. It is the place where our life becomes visible, the only reality that accompanies us from birth to death. Through drawing and sculpture, I have learned to understand the body not as an ideal to be perfected, but as something profoundly human: vulnerable, unique, and infinitely worthy of careful observation.

Eiffela Broken Dream is a gigantic art installation created for Burning Man 2026 in Nevada's Black Rock Desert by French artist Philippe Maindron. It was brought from France to Nevada and reconstructed on site by the artist's team.

It is essentially an Eiffel Tower broken in two, made of metal and approximately 1:10 of the original. It is approximately 30 meters long, 15 meters high, and weighs approximately 30 tons.

The meaning is very interesting:

The lower part, with its four legs resting on the ground, represents the fall and end of a lost civilization.

The upper part, pointing skyward, represents hope and the possibility of a better future.

A cable stretched between the two halves allows a tightrope walker to cross the void, transforming the work into a true performance.

The idea is therefore that of an Eiffel Tower that, after a journey through a world ravaged by crises, collapses into the desert. But what initially appears to be destruction becomes a message of rebirth and hope.
