statement by the Artist
I perceive an increasingly artificial, more arrogant, more devious world.
I feel I live in an age where it is easier to lie, to disguise, to hide.
I sense the fatigue of asking any question, large or small, of value, replaced by the ease and triviality of doubting absolute certainties and
I note the disconcerting superficiality of believing any falsehood without opposing it with the slightest critical consciousness.
Fearfully trading their frustrations and fears for freedom and justice denied.
"We are the questions we ask ourselves,
And the ones we don't."
Can you figure it out?

Reading the work
"il Dubbio"
To me the honor of approaching the celebration of this original , symbolic and creative work of art entitled "DUBBIO."
Curiosity first led me to discover that before the Middle Ages there was no symbol that could be traced back to today's question mark.
Although already the Greeks to express interrogative intonation marked questions with a semicolon at the end of the sentence, a custom that disappeared over the centuries, however.
We have to get to the Medieval era with the advent of the Amanuenses who, during their transcriptions of manuscripts, used the abbreviation of the word Quaestio (meaning precisely question in Latin) and using initially a "Qo" to recognize a question, and gradually stylizing these two little letters and resting the "o" underneath the Q, gradually made more sinuous , until the symbol accepted and assimilated by modern writing.

In short, an objectively increasingly distracted, subjugated and drugged world.

It is sadly evident that historical recursions are part of humankind and that little for example, we manage to treasure the achievements of the thought of admitting one's ignorance because only then can we develop a deep curiosity for knowledge.

Accepting human uncertainty and using reason to awaken thinking and set in motion all thinking for knowledge
Andrea Burana adds to this side of uncertainty, the ability to ask oneself questions that have value to evidently give oneself answers, in all areas whether technical or social or emotional, in work, society and family, and why not in one's individuality, in the essence of one's being.
That is why he proclaims that "we are the questions we ask ourselves and do not ask ourselves," because asking questions becomes essential to stimulate insights and motivation for evolutionary change in anyone and to enhance communication among living beings who wish to confront each other in order to listen, compare and grow.

Just as fundamental to understand that doubting the indubitable is further evidence of the dangerous intellectual decline we are going through.
Thus a hymn to provocation, for we can be what we aspire to become, constantly asking ourselves questions of value, not to aspire to absolute indubitability, but to find the reasons for our lives, evolving and communicating continuously, or we can passively choose to become those who succumb to frustrations and fears, trading away our freedom.

And not only ours.
In short, terrible or wonderful dichotomy of being!
"We are the questions we ask ourselves,
And the ones we don't."
But have you ever thought about it?
