Desiderio, Eterna Notte (2022), Bruno Caramella alabaster and Italian agate inlays: H. 40.5 cm. – 15.9 in.



This hand-carved alabaster sculpture presents a kneeling, androgynous figure. Its stylized body and ambiguous expression echo the presence of the two-spirit traditions. Neither entirely male nor female, the figure embodies a non-binary sacredness that transcends Western gender binaries, reflecting a culturally embedded queerness rooted in spiritual and ceremonial roles.
