"Abbondare è meglio che deficere" (It’s better to abound than to lack) this white resin sumo sculpture is adorned with vibrant colored butterflies, symbolizing abundance and transformation. The powerful figure of the sumo wrestler contrasts beautifully with the delicate butterflies, creating a dynamic interplay of strength and grace. This piece celebrates the philosophy of abundance, resilience, and the beauty found in balance. As his breathing remains regular, the flow of air through his slightly open lips creates a harmonious exchange between his internal being and the external world. His body, strong and expansive, finds equilibrium between the elements, while the material that composes him rises into light, reaching the heavens. His presence stretches like a vast canvas, where a swarm of colorful butterflies alights upon him, floating weightlessly against the blue sky. In white, his figure radiates purity and transcendent calm.
