Totem by Elvio Becheroni, born from the heart of the Amazon, testifies to the delicate dance between man and nature. In 1988 he created a masterpiece, not simply carved in the noble PAU Brasil wood but woven with threads of a profound message. Each piece of wood, coming from trunks saved from the smoking ashes of the great fires that devastated the Amazon Forest, carries with it a story of destruction and redemption. In each sculpture, Becheroni revives his condemnation of the grave sin of Amazon deforestation. His hands, guided by a fervent faith in the symbiosis between humanity and the earth, create a hymn to a brighter tomorrow. With each deft stroke, he whispers to the ancient trees, promising hope and rebirth. Wood, witness of countless journeys to the heart of Brazil, carries with it the weight of memory and the promise of change. In this extraordinary creation, Totem, Becheroni's vision takes shape: a sinuous shape that curves and unwinds, testimony to the organic beauty of nature itself. Yet, amid the sinuosity, the iron beams intertwine like a guardian's embrace, forming a cage, a stark reminder of the ever-present threat to our precious rainforest. This sculpture, Totem, transcends its physical form. It becomes the embodiment of remembrance, a shrine of memory and a beacon of hope. It encourages us to take on the role of stewards of the Earth, to act against the relentless deforestation plaguing the Amazon. It serves as a reminder that our future is tied to the health and vitality of our planet. For those who dare to dream of a harmonious coexistence with nature, Totem is more than just a work of art, it is a profound statement of intent. It is a furnishing accessory for those who choose to be in solidarity with the environment, for those who believe that our destiny is intertwined with the same trees that cradle our world. Becheroni's Totem is a plea, a call for change and a testament to the enduring power of art to touch the soul and ignite the spirit.
