This sculpture symbolizes the path of the sun and the moon (Lini Brunelli, 2007).
From sunrise to sunset, from east to west, time goes by. The sunrise is represented by a golden and copper disc and a crescent covered in mesh with tiers of colored glass from Murano. In the centre, the other white steel crescent represents the moon. The work is supported by five pins in a concrete base and covered by a few pebbles from the Arve river. Brunelli (1931) lives near Milan in Italy. Sculptor and painter, he also works extensively in theatre, making costumes and sets.
