captioningposts:ortut:Via [image id: the sculpture “box n°1 - amore rapito” finished in 2015 by daniele accossato. it depicts a side view of the roman god of love, bound and shoved into a wooden shipping crate. the empty space around the god is filled with bubble wrap, as if to protect him from travel damage.he’s sitting on his heels, with his calves and thighs touching and his ankles bound together with rope. one of his knees is pressed into the bottom of the crate, while the other is almost horizontal and nearly touching his chest, which has been pushed down.his wings are bound together with rope behind his back, as are his wrists, causing his arms to strain and his fists to clench. his head is turned to face the viewer directly. there is a piece of silver duct tape covering his mouth, although his nose remains free. his brow is slightly furrowed, and his eyes convey an overwhelming sense of despair.photo credit: james nova photography; sourced through {flickr}end image id] -- source link
