Il Palombaro (the diver) is not only a man in the middle of the ocean surrounded by living creatures.
He is much more then that…
He is a puppet for the silent theatre of the fishes, he is a deep acrobat, he is a pneumatic man.
cit. Corrado Govoni
From all of these images Alessando Vallin started to create this surreal character that moves around men as if they were shells, sea stars, corals or seahorses. The diver is a character out of the world because he moves on the earth surrounded by air instead of moving by the ocean.
