Description by the gallery owner

Gaia and the Whale is a bronze sculpture that extends in width (it is 85 centimeters wide), on a wooden base. The protagonist of the work is Gaia, one of Stefano Bombardieri's iconic little girls. Frail and tiny, Gaia drags behind her an enormous whale, disproportionately bigger than her. As always happens in the artist's bestiary, the whale is used in metaphor, to talk about the weight and conditioning of other people's expectations on the life of human beings. Heavy burdens that, more or less consciously, each of us must deal with. The strength of little Gaia, completely unbalanced forward due to fatigue, is moving and, at the same time, admirable. In his gestures there is no trace of complaint or desperation. A sense of acceptance prevails combined with a great determination to reach a goal, however.
