"Vulcano is the observation of the human being in its psychological aspect. In this sense, I am interested to see how the man becomes afraid of the change and how he deals with this transformation. We always found that we could not change anythingon us. We can change our home we change everything around us, the less we own. The volcano poured me a metaphor for the issue of change in humans. In principle, a change or transformation seems a terrible thing - it destroys a lot - but then it is always for the better. In the specific case of this video, the volcano that appears in several paintings is Vesuvius, these paintings are reproductions of paintings sec. XVIII Italian." - Vasco Araújo
