This project was born in 2009 and still continues. The idea: to use a pop icon such as the heart, reinterpreting it in the form of a vase, with anatomical references and a strongly Italian character. "In alto i cuori", translation from Latin "Sursum Corda". is an installation of porcelain wall elements, designed and handmade by ELICA Studio. The heart is the organ that every human being cannot do without, even in a figurative sense because no one can live without love. The collection today includes 65 different versions but the project foresees 90, as many as the numbers of the Neapolitan Smorfia. A heart-shaped porcelain ex-voto that is also a container: for flowers, ideas, messages, decorated with graphic and plastic motifs: letters, numbers and figures painted with a brush; small handmade sculptures for contemporary messages written in a universal language. Each heart has its own rhythm, its own beat, its own meaning, between irony and divertissement. Many different messages to talk about love: ironic, passionate, lyrical, frivolous, cultured, ... In Alto i Cuori smells of Italy because it comes from an ancient ceramic tradition and a great culture in which always, high and low, noble and pop, sacred and profane are mixed to write a colorful hymn to the beauty and uniqueness of life.
