The sea and the prison in such close proximity have been having a conversation with each other since ages .A moment in this conversation had been encapsulated into a museum which holds artistic decor, where a wave tried to collide with the prison and the structure standing in its glory is width standing it. The wave had been symbolized in to a form which shows a brutal nature of water, its intensity, force, sharpness and edges which is trying to engulf the prison from all sides.Favignana, with its strong geographical and historical context of the Tonara and the Mattanza, is an important aspect of culture. The proce... More
