"We will live in a world of Capodimonte statuettes. All equally lucid, uniform, with proportions and disproportions repeated in series. Cosmetic surgery and its miracles are available to make everyone a little more equal to each other. Its power surpasses, today, that of fashionable clothing, of expressive conformism, of depersonalized taste. Children, dogs, old women, hypo-endowed men, normal or hyper men with some "but" distant from the pubic region, young women who are almost beautiful or almost ugly, calves, knees, physiological or pathological almond-shaped eyes, caring parents, pretentious children, small change of intelligence, tides of ignorance and envy. A beautiful whole of the world traveling towards the minute hope of changing its characteristics through invisible scars. The figurines become all ready and perfectly approved to be placed in classic compositions such as nativity scenes, country scenes, dance parties, grocer's shops, television studios, beauty contests, seaside holiday postcards, multi-ethnic gatherings.
