Series 3 

Here is the audio guide script about the artwork: Alfio Giuffrida painted this artwork titled 'Series 3' using bright colors that capture the eye immediately. The image pulses with geometric shapes and architectural forms; look at how they build up a strange and captivating cityscape. At its heart, the structures evoke the Tower of Babel, not as a literal depiction but as a symbol of human ambition and the complex systems we create. The wheel, repeated in various forms, reminds me of Fortune’s Wheel, a symbol found across cultures, from ancient Roman mosaics to medieval manuscripts. This motif represents the unpredictable nature of fate and the cyclical patterns of life and history. Giuffrida’s city invites us to delve into our collective memory, exploring how symbols reappear, adapt, and gain new meanings across time. The emotional charge of these forms lies in their connection to deep-seated cultural narratives, engaging us on a subconscious level. It’s a testament to how our shared visual language can be endlessly reconfigured, revealing the hidden layers of meaning within our cultural heritage.
