Fraboom (Brutus) – sculpture

The elephant is truly amazing: the great physical strength that becomes spiritual. The grandeur that contrasts the delicacy of the gestures. The huge mass that moves silently, even in water. The sweet and intimate sociability, combined with the unequal destructive power in the animal world, capable of redesigning the environment with gates, roads and wells, where necessary. He is an animal full of contradictions, like life, and perhaps this is his charm. A presence that teaches us to manage extremes, to remove obstacles and open passages…

Brutus, by the artist Daniele Basso, is the elephant portrayed at the maximum of its biological, physical and spiritual power. When he puts his full potential into action. In the act of extreme defense, he and his family, while charging and modifying the environment and situations. What we are all called to do in our life. And that we should always do with awareness of our individual and social role, as well as the impact that our actions have in building the future in which we would like to live. For us. For our children. For our grandchildren!
