Listen to the description (English):

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water,
who is very useful, humble, precious, and chaste.
Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
through whom You illuminate the night,
who is beautiful, playful, robust, and strong.

Water and fire, sister and brother, dance together in a balance of opposites. One, precious and chaste, purifies and gives life; the other, robust and ardent, illuminates the night and warms the heart. Francis contemplates them in silence, enraptured by the harmony born from the encounter of such diverse yet complementary forces.
At the heart of the sculpture, the dominant element is water, captured in its continuous and vital motion. Saint Francis appears calm, immersed in the contemplation of the waves rising and falling in a calm rhythm, almost breathing. The rippled surfaces evoke a sphere of water that emerges and disappears, a symbol of life that is born, transformed, and returned. Around him, the water seems to dance, while in his right hand the saint holds a cup of fire, a flame that illuminates and warms, and with his left he touches his chest in an intimate gesture of communion and love.
The work becomes a hymn to the complementarity of the elements, to their necessary coexistence: the purity of water and the strength of fire merge in the same spiritual harmony. Those who observe the sculpture can almost perceive a soundscape: the rushing of the water, the crackling of the flame, the silence of prayer. An invitation to pause and enter, like Francis, into profound resonance with creation.
