This project explores visual interpretations of Sicilian dialect expressions related to ideas of sowing, growth, and transformation. Short, direct phrases become the starting point for a graphic research that brings together language, memory, and visual culture. Patterns and shapes reference natural elements: seeds, leaves, fruits are reimagined through modular and decorative compositions. Color plays a central role, evoking soil, vegetation, ripeness, and the vital energy connected to natural cycles. Positioned between tradition and contemporaneity, the project transforms dialect into a visual device capable of communicating beyond its original context, while remaining deeply rooted in place.
The result is a series of images that function as poetic posters, where text and form coexist to suggest an idea of richness that is not only material, but cultural, relational, and symbolic.
The words are not explained or translated, but left to resonate, reflecting the way oral language carries meaning through shared understanding rather than literal interpretation.
