About the artwork
Matteo Mauro’s "Atom for the Peace" is an evocative sculptural work that delves into the complex duality of atomic energy. Created against the backdrop of the initial conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the piece reflects the pervasive fear associated with the word "atom"—a term whose connotations shifted dramatically after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, from one of life-giving potential to that of immense destructive power. Mauro reclaims this narrative, emphasizing the atom’s inherent capacity for both creation and dissolution. The sculpture invites viewers to move beyond fear and reimagine the atom as a symbol of unity and renewal. By transforming an element often linked to destruction into an emblem of peace, Mauro's work prompts us to see the atom not as an agent of war, but as a catalyst for hope and reconstruction.
"Art is the mediation between dreams and reality."
