The work depicts an ark, inspired by the biblical one. It floats in a sea of coins, while groups of people are submerged by them. On the ark, some people try to help others climb aboard. It symbolizes the hope that Bitcoin can represent during the flood of fiat money.
The Ark is the third ship in the series. The first is dedicated to the Shardana Warriors, the second to the Achaeans departing for the Trojan War, and the third deals with the theme of the Flood and salvation.
The work is made of majolica ceramic using the colombino technique, glazed with a boric glaze and copper oxide, and treated with the metallic luster technique. Specifically, copper and bronze luster were applied with a brush in multiple layers to achieve optimal shine and reflections. The layers were fired one at a time, adjusting the quantity and dilution each time. The top is covered with pure gold applied using the luster technique. This too required three applications and subsequent firing. The work therefore underwent five firings.
Dimensions 70 cm x 55 cm x 45 cm, weight 30 kg.
