Meet Alessandro from Florence, with a pose inspired by the works of the Old Masters. Alessandro’s lithe frame and bittersweet expression exhibit Nietzsche’s notion of Amor Fati, encouraging the embrace of both joy and sorrow as essential threads of the human experience. This notion of Amor Fati remains as true in the time of the Old Masters as it does today. The Hindu philosophy of detachment aligns with Nietzsche’s call to embrace fate. The idea of “Nishkama Karma” suggests performing one’s duties without attachment to the results, emphasizing the importance of acting selflessly and without undue attachment to outcomes, which serves as an inspiration to this work.
