The Schema is a medium-scale sculptural system conceived through an inquiry into the psychological and behavioral architectures we construct to make sense of the world—and our persistent impulse to alter it.
 

Partially rooted in an exploration of mythological stories—including the Tower of Babel, Eve’s apple, and Icarus’ flight—as well as satirical allegories like The Ship of Fools and The Praise of Folly, the piece engages anthropological, sociological, and linguistic frameworks while critically addressing contemporary ambitions—from Mars colonization to global techno-political restructuring—that shape its concept. It explores the dual engines of human cognition: the visionary pursuit of knowledge and transcendence, intertwined with failure, obsession, and absurdity. The installation imagines a fictional 1960s Italian architectural bureau, emerging in the post–World War II era, designing speculative models for a new world—perhaps even another “Tower of Babel.”

 

The Schema collapses myth and modernity, past and future, into a singular tragicomic spatial system. It is both monument and malfunction: a map of striving, a memory of falling.
