Original artwork description:

With the work ‘The Scream’, Ezio re-proposes the anxieties, the fears that have always imprisoned the individual, endangering the destiny of mankind. The motive for this composition is Munch's Expressionism in a modern key.
In this work, too, a terrifying scream emitted by a woman pierces the viewer's attention, capturing the ferocity of a serious event: the destruction of the ‘Twin Towers’.
Insecurity, imbalance, impotence, ruin and death combine in that scream to denounce the danger of universal catastrophe for that part of Humanity that believes in democracy. All of this from the presence of the monument placed to the right of the woman, the Statue of Liberty, and in the background a greyish sky, ploughed by funereal lightning and suffocating fog, delimits the entire composition.
The Big Apple as described by Edward S. Martin, a global and cosmopolitan city par excellence, a destination and source of inspiration for artists from all over the world. Skyscrapers, bright lights, yellow taxis, jazz, art and freedom of expression make this city a reference point in the world, which is why it was targeted by one of the most violent attacks in American history and beyond. A scream denouncing the danger of a universal catastrophe, the loss of freedom, represented by the famous statue. But nothing can stop the growth and vibrancy of this city in which the ‘energies’ of so many artists, various cultures, converge, always generating new and original ideas.
