The third character is a symbol, associated with eros and beauty.
Facing the future, it looks backwards as a reminder of a beauty that has never faded. Looking in the mirror, she still sees the splendour of the past. She understands that her future is made up of more important values than mere ‘physical’ beauty.
But the mirror sees who she really is inside, a pure beauty of spirit and body.
Based on the great production of Venus statues, the most famous of which is the ''Aphrodite Kallipygos'', preserved in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. This, like other statues, has undergone profound changes over time (addition of pieces and modifications). The future scenario is that we continue in this direction, welcoming the changes as an evolution and not with fear and distrust.
The second character is an athlete, captured in a perfect moment.
In this utopian future, he breaks away from a false ideal of beauty and sets himself new challenges.
Based on a 3d scan of a copy of the 'Discobolus' by the Greek sculptor Myrone. This one in particular is based on the 'Lancellotti Discobolus', which dates back to the second century AD and is currently displayed in Palazzo Massimo, in the Roman National Museum.
