Syrante are small porcelain figures thought of and made in the manner of Egyptian and Assyrian ushabti.<\/em> They represent constructive and positive forces, half fish and half human. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They are figures that take their cues from the tutelary deities such as I LARI in the houses of ancient Rome. Beneficial presences, part human and part fish to move from the liquid to the solid dimension and rise to the spiritual. Sort of amphibians just as the personality of ELICA Studio is amphibious, that is, the ability and versatility to pass through the elements, that is, materials, ideas projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sirenomelia is a malformation that has the lower limbs attached and was an emblem of lust in the Middle Ages. Sirens were also symbols of sensuality and vanity and generally held a mirror or comb. Adargadis, an Assyrian goddess, was the first mermaid in history. These figures are found in all cultures of the world, including many Japanese manga. Syrante are, by definition, half-sirens and half-saints.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The “saint” half draws inspiration from a 1998 performance by ELICA, entitled “Mutilazioni,” which referenced the hagiography of saints and the absurd reasons why, especially female saints, were subjected to all kinds of mutilation because they did not “respect” the wishes and wishes of a male-dominated, patriarchal culture that imposed prohibitions and gave them absurd orders, denying them the freedom to choose.THE HANDS: Uliva’s life is suspended between history and legend in the Middle Ages. THE BREASTS: Saint Agatha was probably born in Palermo or perhaps Catania. THE TONGUE: Christina was born on Lake Bolsena. Her father, Urban, was a governor and an enemy of Christians, and when he discovered his daughter’s faith, he had her locked up in prison. After her father’s death, Julianus became praetor, who had her locked in a cage of snakes and had her tongue torn out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n THE EYES: Lucy was born in Syracuse in 281 to a wealthy and noble family. As a young girl, she was promised in marriage to a young man, a noble but pagan. She, devoted to God, rejected the proposal. The suitor took revenge and denounced her as a Christian, and on December 13, 304, she was martyred and her eyes were gouged out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n THE TEETH: Apollonia was originally from Alexandria, Egypt, and was raised in the Christian religion, taking a vow of virginity. THE PENIS: The only man on this list is Origen, born in 183\/85, perhaps in Alexandria.

A pop myth that from the Egyptian ushabti,<\/em> through Andersen’s Little Mermaid, comes to ELICA Studio’s Syrante<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
A king had seen in her hands the beautiful hands of his dead wife and therefore desired her as a wife.
Her refusal of this union cost Uliva the amputation of her hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her family was noble and illustrious, and she had devoted herself to God from a young age.
Quintianus, praetor of Sicily, wanted to marry her for her wealth.
When she refused, she was stretched out on a rack, and Quintianus had her breasts torn off with pincers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the Decian persecution, she was arrested. Having declared her faith, she was sentenced to death, but before being burned alive, her teeth were pulled out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
He became a theologian and a student of Clement of Alexandria, and from a young age he devoted himself to teaching. Bishop Demetrius entrusted him with the preparation of catechumens. To avoid temptation, Origen castrated himself.
In 250 he was persecuted by Decius and died following the torture he suffered in 253\/54.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
