The idea of illustrating the theme of the future — or rather, of standing on the side of the future — could find no better expression than this moment of eager anticipation, standing on tiptoe, waiting for something or someone that speaks to us, yet whose message remains unknown. As Gianni Rodari taught us through his stories with multiple endings, uncertainty can also be a source of freedom: everything is still to be written — and imagined.
