Moon, Jupiter and Venus alignment in front of the »Embracing Peace« statue, which represents the famous kiss between the sailor and the nurse in New York to celebrate the end of the Second World War. I darkened the scene and left only the statue and the conjunction in evidence, as in some portraits by Elliot Erwitt, to force the eye to concentrate on the emotional state represented in the scene: the planetary alignment watches placidly over the kiss which is a sign of hope and of peace especially in this period in which Europe has war on its borders.
