Sogno
 

With a pinecone resting on her head, Sogno carries an ancient symbol of inner knowing. In many cultures, the pinecone represents the pineal gland , the gateway to intuitive awareness, the antenna to the universe.

This sculpture invites silence and connection. The more we tune in to that inner receiver, the more we become ourselves. From that deep connection grows trust, in our thoughts, our emotions, and most of all, in our creative power.
Sogno reminds us that true creation doesn’t come from control, but from surrendering to what rises from within.
