The 'Bedroom' as an Art Environment is a section of my ebook 'Words Images Desire' (TED, 2023). I imagine this “creation in the words of the poets. (…) Dream and Desire are a single body in the bedroom of the lover who becomes an artist”.
Here I wrote on cracks in the wall "hug me in dreams", signing Vx, my identity as a multiple writer of Desire: I was looking for presences of Donation of Love.
My bedroom wants to express Art-Life of Dream and Desire. I dedicate it in 2023 to Gabriele D'annunzio. I am influenced by his motto «Love your dream even if it torments you!», to which I dedicated an event in Casarano (LE) in March 2023 for the 160th anniversary of his birth.

In my room the object presences of love donation - dolls, masks, puppets -, sometimes created by artists, "coexist" with the energetic ones. The engaging vibrationality, widespread in the environment, can constitute a holistic therapy. I would like to "enter" this as an artist-healer. The Chamber can thus become 'orgonic', using a term coined by the psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich. For this reason I "opened" it to a limited number of women to share with them the creations and holistic well-being of Dream and Desire.

I expose a woman's red lips on the doors of the white wardrobe in my room: they want to open up to the meeting... They "kiss" live or through glued fragments of paper, sometimes with words from Desiderio. These lips, open to the nourishment of love, belong to women loved, created or known, each of whom I look at as a Shroud. They “live” as instinctive love letters.
Here the energetic drive of Desire is connected to creativity and inner reading to listen to the Dream: as happens to the lover-artist of the Red Rose. This flower, symbol of love offerings, "perfumes" my journeys of thought and creation, sometimes nostalgic as in an ancient Tango. The body of a withered red rose rests on the door of my room, near a motto by D'Annunzio «Pick the rose, be careful of the thorn».
