In Promemoria, artist and activist Enrico Muratore Aprosio, aka EMA, uses his unique style to address some of the biggest threats to our world today-nuclear war, climate change, and human rights abuses. Through colorful, imaginative, and sometimes unsettling images, EMA calls attention to the global issues that put humanity and the natural world at risk. Inspired by his own experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and works of literature like Orwell's Animal Farm, EMA's art speaks volumes about the fragility of our existence and the choices we face and make. His artwork combines bright colors, beautiful animals, and surreal, magical scenes to deliver an urgent message: we are running out of time to make the changes needed to prevent disaster. In a world where nuclear weapons still exist and conflicts between powerful nations continue to escalate, EMA's creations invite us to reflect on what we value and what we're willing to fight for.
This book isn't just a collection of beautiful art-it's a wake-up call. EMA's use of symbolism, from nuclear mushrooms to combative animals, brings the viewer face-to-face with the dangers that hover over us all. Yet there's hope here: his art reminds us that while humanity has created these threats, we can solve them. Promemoria is a vibrant reminder of what's at stake and a passionate plea for a nuclear-free, peaceful future. Through his work, EMA calls us to imagine a different world-one where we rise above our worst instincts and embrace the possibility of peace and renewal.
