The work for the main room analyzes a relation of communication and dependency such as the family connection between mother and son. One day I was on the subway when I saw a mother who was sleeping with 5 or 6 children laying all over her body and lost in their sleep as well. I thought that each of them was into his/hers own world but at the same time they all looked secretly connected. There where something fashinating and natural about the comunication between their bodies but what really caugth my attention was a thread that I could not avoid to imagine, and that somehow was tighting them all together.
