There is something very special about the cedar sculpture called the Ark. This sculpture, designed and created by the Italian artist Dean Marino, represents a traditional ark, a symbol of a life journey. The significance of this sculpture goes far beyond its physical form and leaves a deep impression on whoever sees it.
The ark itself represents the journey of life, a tradition that has been passed down for generations. It is said that people can learn a lot from their journey, with a keen awareness of what they have done and what they still have to do. The sculpture, which has the shape of a boat, is full of details such as veins, crevices and knots. Each element represents the challenges that life has placed before us and that have marked us in body and spirit.
The realized and aware person does not hide these scars… but shows them with pride because he is at peace with his soul.
Ark represents a journey of life, full of learning, love and understanding. This sculpture made with the Yakisugi technique and pervaded by the Wabi-sabi philosophy is a tribute to Japanese tradition and the history of the country. For anyone who wants to live their life in a meaningful way, the Ark sculpture is a precious reminder of how important it is to take the time to appreciate your journey through life.
