Where Flight Begins captures the exact moment when the feet leave the ground and desire finally chooses to trust.<\/p>\n
Part of the Voglia di volare \u2013 Longing to Fly series, she leans forward into movement. One leg rises behind her while her arms instinctively search for balance. She is not fully flying yet. Instead, we are witnessing something more delicate and perhaps even more meaningful: the very beginning.<\/p>\n
Her bright red clothing seems to follow the movement of her body, while the green floral top brings a fresh and playful sense of lightness. A tiny ladybug rests on her chest like a little good-luck charm. Even her hair joins the motion, lifting upward as though already caught by the wind.<\/p>\n
Her gesture becomes a small metaphor for freedom. We do not always need to know where we are going before we begin. Sometimes freedom starts simply by finding the courage to loosen our hold on what keeps us grounded.<\/p>\n

Technical notes <\/p>\n
The sculpture is hand-modeled with a pinkish-toned clay.
\nI applied glossy and satin enamels
\nThe skin is left in natural clay, while the coloured parts have been painted with different hues of engobes (slips) in order to create delicate nuances and plays of colour.
\nThe little face is as small as a hazelnut. The curls are applied one by one and are made of delicate clay strips rolled on themselves.
\nThe sculpture underwent two firings at 980\u00b0<\/p>\n
Dimensions: height 18 cm, width 17 cm, depth 17 cm. <\/p>\n
Each sculpture is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
\nShipping to Italy is always free of charge.<\/p>\n
