“Vanity of vanities, everything is vanity”.
The image of homo bulla reappears frequently throughout history, and is a fundamental theme of the baroque. The bubble has a double image: on the one hand, it is a fragile object subjected to the will of the air; on the other hand each bubble contains the material reflection of the world around it. A complete world, as it is a reflection on a spherical geometry. But also, because of its spherical condition, a distorted reflection, offering a peculiar image of reality.
All shapes, all materials, have been reflected in the bubble. On its surface the world is not new, but unique.
