A leap of faith. That’s what Cordelia von den Steinen asks of us with her sculpture, Il grande salto, right here in Milan. Il grande salto isn’t just a static object. It’s a conversation starter, a challenge to our perceptions. It’s a story waiting to unfold. Il grande salto invites us to consider the very idea of a “great leap.” What constitutes such a leap in our own lives? Is it a physical act of daring? Or is it something more internal, a shift in perspective, a bold decision? Von den Steinen doesn’t provide easy answers with Il grande salto. Instead, she encourages us to grapple with these questions ourselves. The sculpture’s form itself suggests a sense of motion, of being caught mid-air. It’s a visual representation of that exhilarating, terrifying moment of commitment, when we’re fully invested in the unknown. Il grande salto is a powerful reminder that life’s most rewarding experiences often lie on the other side of our comfort zones. So, as you stand before Il grande salto, take a moment to reflect on your own “great leaps.” What have they been? What will they be? And what is the art urging *you* to leap towards?
