A glimpse into the charm of the unfinished

Throwing yourself forward, head down. Throwing your heart over the obstacle, as they say: and perhaps in this momentum you also feel a little fear of the unknown, why not, but always listening to your own strength and staying true to your nature.
This year’s gift is a book that represents our way of telling you about our daily endeavours and our boundless passion. A concrete story, made up of photographs taken on our construction sites: special places where the smell of wood mixes with the noise that ideas make when they come to fruition. Places where everyday objects are transformed into ingredients of a project that does not yet exist, but will soon. Infinite spaces, in the sense that they are still to be finished and built, made of planks, ladders, tangles of cables, surfaces that do not yet know whether they will become walls or floors when they grow up. Bolts that on their own would be just bolts, but together give strength to a column. The first nails hammered in to say: something is being born here, and then who knows.
But to do all this, you need to project yourself forward, keep your goal in mind and train your eyes to see something in front of you that is not there yet. It is no coincidence that projecting and planning are so similar: they have the same root. After all, what is a project if not an attempt to make something real that at first seems to be there, in front of us, but which only exists in our thoughts?
In this sense, each of the photographs you are about to see is a project. A scene to be explored through imagination. We should observe it and ask ourselves: what could be here? Look at the images and imagine something else, beyond what we are looking at. And so discover that there is nothing more beautiful than these impulses, these endeavours, these new imaginary and real construction sites, these first nails hammered in and then who knows. Nothing is more beautiful than seeing an obstacle and thinking: here, now I’ll throw my heart into it, let’s see where it lands.
Happy holidays, full of projects.
