In Coppia di Sirene, Ragazzini uses a satirical twist to portray mythological figures in a way that feels both absurd and thought-provoking. The mismatched fish tails and fragmented torsos of the “mermaids” are humorously unsettling, reminiscent of folk art and Renaissance iconography distorted by modern imagination. These figures parody traditional depictions of myth and beauty, questioning the human tendency to romanticize or exaggerate. The hand-cut, collage-based forms enhance their imperfect, cobbled-together appearance, highlighting Ragazzini’s playful critique of idealized myths and our desire for the fantastical.
