“Perché un corvo è come uno scrittoio?”
E’ associato all’idea di morte, per noi con accezione negativa, per altre culture come simbolo di tramite, di messaggero, di passaggio.
Ma allora perchè Lewis Carroll ci pone questa domanda?

“The Raven” digital illustration and photo manipulation by Elisa Gibaldi (the author) |
Nella nostra immaginazione, negli angoli bui dentro la nostra testa i pensieri a volte possono fare paura, ma il corvo-scrittoio ci aiuta a trasformarli in qualcosa di vero e di conoscibile.
In questo senso simbolico forse allora il corvo rappresenta il messaggio e la trasformazione di stato.
E nella moda?
La moda d’Avanguardia ama il corvo in quanto essere misterioso e ne associa l’immagine a quella della donna più enigmatica. La lucentezza e la morbidezza delle piume rivestono il corpo in molti modi.

“Why it is a raven like a writing desk?“
“The Raven
shiny black feathers
dark soul and edgy gaze.
I live at night
with which I get confused
in which I gather “
(the author)
“Why it is a raven like a writing desk?“
On a writing desk are leaning our own thoughts in the form of written word, and they become for the first time material reality.
In our imagination, in the dark corners inside our head, thoughts can sometimes be scary, but the raven–writing desk helps us to transform them into something real and knowable.
In this symbolic sense maybe then the raven is the message and the transformation of state.
And in fashion?
Avant-garde fashion loves the raven as mysterious being and it associates the image with that of the most enigmatic woman. The shine and softness of feathers cover the body in many ways.
