"Every single artwork is a heroic act"- U. Ciceri
The term monad means "unit", the one which cannot be divided. Philosophically the term has been used by ancient philosophers to signify a variety of entities, in Gnosticism is the most primal aspect of God. Ciceri's work is all centered around the critical view of existence of the human being, constantly trying to make its way through life. A ballerina endlessly twirling on her own axis constantly, trapped on her own beauty, a boxing referee in a ring/cage wrapped in a never ending countdown of the fight against ourselves and our own mistakes and finally the monad, the square millimeter which is the origin of the big picture, the enhancement of a fragment of the artists' most figurative work that is transformed into abstract as to represent the individual within his own world, as big as his hands can reach, loosing context of the main frame that can only be seen from afar, life itself, existence.
