Estirpare – Uproot – Personal project
5 years after the creation of Roots,
after all this time while looking to be rooted,
how much of this became superfluous; how much of this is truly essential?
Most likely a very little
So here what I wish to uproot:
Blaming the others
Feeling talented or superior somehow
The ego and vanity which trick us by letting to see things with superficiality
Knowledge meant as the apex of knowing things
And finally the wrong idea that love is something for good
instead of an attitude to nurture day after day.
