Made by the artist between April and June 2017, while the authoress had been writing the final version of her book. A meeting between professionals, Remigia Spagnolo and Antonio Cavallo, which becomes a metaphor of the meeting between psychology and art; between two different dreamers, each one with his or her own trade and tools to achieve something worth.

Richly decorated on a sober “Franciscan” basis, the door represents Man’s personal and spiritual elevation process generated by “Mother Earth” (the bottom of the door) and lit by “Brother Sun” and the sky (the inside of the blue frame in the upper part of the door). The pictorial structure left some parts untouched to reveal the rough wood and the different layers of colour used over time as a metaphor/representation of Man’s life experience and  never ending search for identity in the course of his life transformation and intimate essence.
