Tell me a good story
And I'll pay you with real pearls
The ones that are made by the teeth of birds
From the underground
Bathed in Jägermeister
Polished with the moonlight

This nine-tailed fox occupies a plinth whose dimensions were imposed by the exhibition, a standardized support used by all participating artists.

The plinth, was conceived by designer Federico Fontanella X Crates for Massimo Space in Milano, it framed the works in the group exhibition 'The Tip of the Iceberg' and establishes a shared point of view, creating a constraint that shapes engagement with material, scale, and verticality. Within these limits, the fox asserts its presence, merging myth, form, and energy.
