"Art massages the atrophied muscle of collective sensitivity. Art is a catastrophic disruption in the equilibrium of interpersonal communication. Paradoxically it is the ability of relating and playing between catastrophe and communication, and Minya handles both these aspects with balance"
Achille Bonito Oliva
"Sixth Era"
Beehive – the mutual responsibility within a society
The artistic series entitled “Sixth Era” indicates a geological era that has just begun. It is the first one in which the main causes of climatic, structural and territorial changes on planet Earth are attributable to humans and their activity.
Climate change, soil erosion, the loss of biodiversity, the melting of polar ice, global warming - all these are the consequences of our habits.
The depiction of a stylized beehive metaphorically narrates the complex and mutual responsibility of each individual within a society and towards the global environment.
Working with fresh raspberries, a symbol of fertility and wealth - showing the dramatic process of degradation - create a strong sense of delicacy and transience.
These works represent the concept of the passage of time and intend to merge life with art.
