Diplomazija astuta = cunning diplomacy

by Arcangelo Sassolino, Jeffrey Uslip, Giuseppe Schembri Bonaci, Brian Schembri, Keith Scibberas

This kinetic sculptural installation reimagines Caravaggio's The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. Molten steel droplets fall into water basins via induction technology to represent the original subjects, connecting historical tragedy with contemporary humanist principles.
