Caldera is the mouth of a sleeping volcano.
This painting compares the natural elements of the world and the natural elements of a man.
The inspiration came from the artist's visit to the city of Pozzuoli in the Gulf of Naples area. It is a center of seismic activity with people living on the edge of the volcano, exemplifying all humanity that lives in this manner expecting a catastrophe.
As at any moment the girl can start knocking out dust from the pillows, nature may trigger a disaster process.
