The sculpture, made of iron rods and wire with remnants of vine shoots, depicts an enlarged sparkling wine cage. The work stems from the intention to give new dignity to a marginal, often ignored, but highly evocative object. Despite its simplicity, the cage immediately brings to mind the world of wine, with all its symbolic connotations of conviviality, anticipation, and celebration. The use of iron enhances the contrast between the delicacy of the original object and the solidity and monument n of the sculpture. The dimensions of the cage allow the viewer to walk through it, transforming it into a symbolic space where Italian and Slovenian cultures meet, united by what they have in common. Description of the work The rods and wire used to create the sculpture were chosen for their use and importance in vineyards, however marginal they may seem. These elements support the vine, helping it to grow; in return, the plant twists around these materials, creating a relationship between the natural and the industrial.
