The roots of life

Anna Poerio

In this painting a man and a woman are in the centre of the scene. The upsidedown woman points her hand to the ground while her leg points upward, indicating human beings’ intermediate position between heaven and earth. On the right and on the left, an ikebana floral composition stands for the essential union between Nature and humanity. The fusion of nature and human being is the necessary and inseparable condition of life.
