“Beauty usually leaves me in tears that are full and heavy as the water of Skogafoss”.

This first sentence opens the gate to the artist’s world. Starting from nordic legends on the waterfall of Skogafoss in the southern part of Iceland, Lucrezia develops a research about where we, as humans, feel at home. Her approach has to do with the magnificence of the Icelandic landscape and with the immense silence that sorrounded her and in which she dove, she melted and connected, and in which she dissolved with the aim of being part of something bigger, to become world.
