Icebergs are wandering and solitary shapes subject to imperceptible transformation, and they incorporate other shapes and remote images. The submerged parts of these ice mountains are almost completely invisible and their balance and floatation capacity are strictly connected to the emerging part. When this ratio ceases to exist, icebergs can overturn with deafening sounds, showing the part which has been hidden for millennia.

== Critical Review ==

{{Quote
|text = Since the early Nineties, Sergio Sarra has been exploring the iconic nature of painting, (and of sculptural installations and performances) to approach things through an abstract comprehension, while also conjuring up ancestral figures: "it would be important for me to be able to make a really archaic drawing, that can be recognized only by one's consciousness, and has never been seen in real life".<br>For Sarra, the manual aspect of drawing is akin to a sort of imponderable writing, executed "from life" but detached from any interest in spatial composition; "the color must only be meaningful, not descriptive", and "a painting is finished when it resists the company of the other work in the studio."<br>Each piece is generated by an observing consciousness, that moves within autobiographical spaces and cultural affiliations, interrelating signs in redundant sequences: architectural antinomies, dualities, border zones, specious repetitions; transparent grids and aporias.<br>His home studio project is a clear form that interprets one of the artist's favorite landscapes: a protected space, personal and familiar, that fosters suggestions and ideas, where Sergio Sarra has organized his own painting possibilities.
