Rebecca 

Lino Tagliapietra presents us with ‘Rebecca’, a sculpture wrought in glass, whose essence evokes the ancient symbol of the seed. The seed, a universal emblem of potential and origin, resonates deeply within our collective consciousness. This symbol can be found in Ancient Egyptian art as the hieroglyph for creation and life, representing the generative power of the land. Similarly, in Greek mythology, seeds scattered by deities brought forth life and abundance. The seed's form, so elegantly captured by Tagliapietra, appears time and again throughout art history, a constant reminder of nature’s regenerative cycle. Though the seed carries the promise of life, it also carries a profound psychological weight, tapping into our deepest fears and hopes about mortality and rebirth. 'Rebecca' acts as a potent reminder of the perpetual dance between life and death, hope and despair, perpetually echoing through the corridors of time.
