If you enter a space occupied by a creative person you usually discover a world in which a multitude of works await completion. Some works may remain there for a few weeks, others for months or even years.
In some cases the artist has got to find the time to finish them, in others it's a matter of finding the proper inspiration. In the meantime, while the space becomes a world of possibilities, the works await their completion absorbing time and becoming also symbols of a non finito (unfinished) universe.
Yet, quite often, the non finito reveals itself as much better than what is finished, it is actually what prompts a creative person to get on and find solutions and conclusions to a project. You could argue that even in architecture the non finito is more interesting than the final accomplished project: an Arab proverb states indeed that a house, once completed, dies.
The image in this post - a gondola carrying pieces of other gondolas - tells a story of non finito. If you arranged the pieces on board in a precise order you would get the finished gondola, but isn't the broken gondola bizarrelly protruding from the other one more intriguing than the finished one?
Could the non finito be used as a theme for a fashion collection? Fashion design students out there, this is another dilemma for you all.
