The work is entitled "the family" and is made up of an assemblage of heterogeneous materials, largely antique, chosen for their material and symbolic significance. The central element is an ostrich egg, symbolizing fertility and birth; a naturally fragile object, held upright and supported by a rigorously constructed structure. The column is composed of antique necklace beads, lapis lazuli and malachite beads, and caror ceramic elements, whose smooth, dense surface contrasts with the diversity of the surrounding textures. Halfway up, a collection of small cabochons adorned with family portraits, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, forms a circular ring. These miniature faces introduce a discreet, fragmented, almost anonymous human dimension, integrated into the logic of the arrangement rather than expressive. The entire piece is presented under an antique glass dome, resting on a blackened wooden base dating from the napoleon iii period. This protective and distancing device reinforces the idea of constraint, preservation, and control, so central to sciortino's work. The materials, from different origins and periods, are thus brought together in a coherent structure, where each element is held in its place by the precision of the assembly. Perfect condition, made in 2001. Overall dimensions: 60 x 26cm artist / designer: carmelo sciortino (1957 - )). Signature / monogram: signed. Period: 20th century / mid century.
