Food as metaphor in Sette Palazzi Celesti.
Exhibition brochure design for HangarBicocca.

The theme of the exhibition booklet takes food as a starting point—an everyday and immediate element through which to explore the religious metaphors and symbolic language embedded in Sette Palazzi Celesti at HangarBicocca. By introducing food as a metaphor, the narrative unfolds through a contrast between divinity and humanity: on one hand evoking the sublime, the transcendental, and the ritualistic, and on the other returning to the body, desire, and lived experience. This approach constructs a narrative tension that moves between faith and reality.
