"Let's stay human."

An invitation not to remain indifferent, not to look the other way because in front of us is the suffering of a people. There is the Israeli-Palestinian war. A sad reality condemned even with just a sculpture on the sand, on the Sorso coast.

The story is told by the Nuoro artist Nicola Urru who created another work on the beach of Platamona, this time depicting Vittorio Arrigoni known as Vik , Italian journalist, writer and activist in the humanitarian field. A convinced supporter of the two-state solution as the only way to resolve the war , a pacifist, he moved to the Gaza Strip to act against what he defined as ethnic cleansing by the State of Israel against the Palestinian Arab population.

A very current theme that brings to the mind of the artist Urru the image of the reporter, killed by the Ezzedin al-Qassam Brigades during a raid on a house in Gaza . The autopsies revealed that death occurred due to strangulation between the night of 14 and 15 April 2011. He had been kidnapped on the evening of 14 April by a terrorist group claiming to be affiliated with the Salafist jihadist area, as he was leaving the gym in Gaza where he used to go.
