At Paraculissima 2025 we presented two works of gentle rebellion exploring beauty and play as forms of resistance. The Sweetest Attack in the World transforms a tank into a sugar-bright dream of laughter and play — a call to rediscover innocence and connection. Vessel of Life drifts through memory and light, carrying tenderness and empathy across quiet waters. Together, they speak softly against conflict, celebrating creation over destruction.
The sweetest attack in the world – Artwork concept
The sweetest attack in the world is a delicious, playful, colorful, mesmerizing, sparkling tank made of sugar-butter-candy that rolls forward, overflowing with balloons, ice cream, and toys. This fantasy vehicle -the kind that only dreams give birth to- is an homage to everyone’s childhood. It speaks to the child within us all – even the most hardened, disconnected adults. It “invades” cities with laughter and sweetness, it storms the world with joy. It is a radiant call for people to awaken, to play, laugh, hug, connect. To love each other as fiercely as children love life. To rediscover wonder.
Vessel of life – Artwork Concept
A vessel that holds our deepest hopes, memories, and dreams. A quite nostalgia of life, carrying fragments of tenderness and forgotten moments. It breathes as it moves, releasing petals and light. It travels peacefully, covering the world in color, scent, and melody. The reflection on the water becomes a mirror of our inner selves, a reminder of the beauty we hold when we choose empathy. A quiet wish for humanity, that every journey might bloom and leave behind softness, joy, and life.
