"Al cuore non si comanda" (The heart wants what it wants) is a striking, one-of-a-kind polished bronze sculpture portraying a sumo figure in quiet surrender to emotion. With a mirror-like surface that reflects its surroundings, this piece invites viewers to see themselves within the vulnerability of the form — a powerful body caught in a moment of internal truth. Around him, a delicate constellation of silver butterflies gently land on his shoulders and arms, symbolizing the unpredictability of love and the invisible forces that guide our deepest desires. Though grounded in strength, his stance is softened by acceptance — a poetic reflection on emotional surrender, capturing the universal human condition: when reason yields to feeling, and control bows to connection.
