The artwork
This work is a reproduction of one of the shields held by the warriors of Mont’e Prama that has been reconfigured and modernized through the usage of the rim of a car in the construction process. Even though the threats of pirates and invaders have long vanished, the shield symbolizes the passionate spirit of those who still fight to defend Sardinia today against threats that contribute in eradicating an irreplaceable heritage, both natural and man-made, for the whole humanity. The shield is constructed from the rim of a car; however, half of it is missing. Despite being broken, the remaining piece of the shield is still placed at the top of the sculpture, symbolizing that even through hard struggles and when there seems futile to fight, there are many who are still ready to take on the fight and defend this cultural paradise called Sardinia, just like the warriors of past times.
