Listen to the description (English):

Rediscovering a sense of ethical and spiritual responsibility toward the Earth and toward every living being is the challenge of our time. Signs of hope are emerging forcefully. Ecological awareness is growing, especially among young people. Actions related to sustainability, the circular economy, and regenerative agriculture are multiplying. Religions, sciences, and social movements are coming together on a shared path of integral ecological conversion. We are understanding that the well-being of each individual depends on the well-being of all: just as a destructive culture affects the entire world, the seeds of rebirth can spread with contagious effect, like the flutter of a butterfly's wings generating hope and solidarity. In this vision, love becomes a force that unites and transcends every barrier, paving the way for a new harmony founded on conscious choices, sober lifestyles, and a spirituality that reconnects humanity to the gift of life.
The two artists translate this reflection into a large, symbolic composition: in the center of a forest, an emblem of the contemporary world, stands a tree with two faces—dry and burned on the left, green and lush on the right. In contrast, the vital side embraces a Ginkgo Biloba, a horse, and a young woman, symbols of rebirth and continuity. The ascending forms intertwine in a shared upward motion, representing the harmonious cooperation between humanity, nature, and a shared future.
