Sogni di pietra (Stony Dreams) is the cycle of works created by Brigitta Rossetti for White Milano – a leading international contemporary fashion show – which consists of still lives carefully arranged by the artist.
There are twenty small size works for which the artist has turned unusual objects such as the pads used for sewage absorption in industry into artistic compositions where the object seems to be holding dreams, meditations and visions within the many cases that house the paintings.
Thence the title of the installation: not stony dreams like heavy nightmares but like memories not to be forgotten.
The figures created by the artist in each case are reminiscent of beaches in winter, where the sea waves deposit all sorts of objects. Brigitta Rossetti loves those beaches and she always comes back from a stroll along them with junk bits such as salt soaked wooden bits, strangely shaped shells and hardened plastic scraps which are often restored to fresh life.
A result of Brigitta's strong desire of cleaning the world from what pollutes the environment, which should be shared by everyone who might thus contribute to make life better.
 Poetic description
1 The tree is alive
2 The tempest upsets
3 Swallows are back
4 The gale clears the sea
5 Rumble are thunder voices
6 The moon lights up black flowers
7 Echoing voices from the wood
8 Strangely shaped leaves
9 Fruits grow from the earth
10 Thoughts quiver in the wind
11 Glaciers are transparent
12 The hive appeals the bees
13 Mother Nature creates and disrupts
14 Early buds spring out
15 Butterfly wings palpitate
16 Fish surface from clear water
17 Falling stars
18 The noise of dry leaves
19 Dawn lights up
20 Snow covers everything in white
