Details
A strict geometric perimeter, a white circle interrupts the compactness of black, creating a “void” that defies the rigidity of form.
Against the white background (the field of possibilities), one element “stands out.” A symbol of passion, vitality, and error, red becomes a metaphor for human unpredictability, inviting reflection on how imperfections define identity.
The joking title, taken from a neologism in Piedmontese dialect celebrates the beauty of non-alignment, imperfect balance, the interplay between rigor and tenderness, like people loved for their quirks.
