The bas-relief, executed in white Carrara marble (7 × 3.50 meters), interprets the myth of Prometheus as a metaphor for humanity’s need to learn.

The composition unfolds through the double dance step of the two figures, inscribed within a spiral that becomes an image of time and of the movement of thought.

The spiral is not merely a formal element, but represents the history of knowledge itself: a continuous process made of impulses, returns, and transformations. In this work, the myth is freed from literal narration and becomes form, gesture, and rhythm, in direct dialogue with the educational space that hosts it.
