DESTINI E FAVOLE: LA SCULTRICE DI STORIE
C'era una volta una donna che scolpiva storie. Le scolpiva in ogni sorta di materiale. All'inizio lavorava con la neve, il fumo o le nuvole, perché i loro racconti erano temporanei, fuggevoli. Scomparsi in un istante, visibili e leggibili soltanto da coloro che, per caso, erano presenti nell'intervallo che separa l'incisione dalla disintegrazione, ma la scultrice preferiva così.
