Study for "Villa dei Misteri," 2013 is part of a cycle of collages dedicated by the artist to the eponymous Roman villa located near the ancient city of Pompei, an archaeological site that carries the charm of "ancient ruins."
In the image, a view of the interior of the Villa dei Misteri serves as the backdrop for an ensemble of celestial bodies - a planet, three circular cut-outs, two transparent, mirrored spheres, and a shooting target.
It is an imaginary astral constellation that resides in the remote past evoked by the ruins of the Villa.
