Description
Oriana Labruna, in her Metamorfosi collection of watercolors, interprets and reflects on the figure of Pinocchio as a universal representation of the human soul. The puppet is depicted in the act of putting on his shoes, an everyday, almost banal gesture, which, in this case, takes on a profound symbolic value.
Shoes are a recurring subject in Oriana Labruna’s works, as they are everyday objects carrying a strong symbolic meaning linked to the inner journey and the search for oneself.
The moment Pinocchio puts on his shoes, he metaphorically prepares himself for his initiatory journey, towards a complex and transformative path of humanity.
