The Great Hope

"The Great Hope" by Francioni and Mastromarino is the voice of hope. The nude woman, bare and without veils, wears a mask that covers her face. Her expressions remain hidden, representing the essence of all women in a universal way.

The woman rests on our planet—the only Earth we have, which we must preserve for future generations. Her expectant belly is stylized and has a slot like a piggy bank, symbolizing a vessel of ideas and hopes. "The Great Hope" invites us to believe in the power of hope, to embrace the universality of a shared desire, and to embark on a journey toward a brighter future.

On Earth, the maternal line is highlighted in silver leaf, as in all the works of this Matrilineal collection.
