GI-RI-SO was specially created to be shown at an exhibition whose title was Riso e Rane (Rice and Frogs) a typical northern Italian dish and, also, the name of a consortium of rice producers that organized the exhibition itself.
The name Gi-ri-so blends, in fact, the words 'girino' (tadpole) and riso (rice). The work creates a visual pun: from a rice ear a grain detaches itself only to become a tadpole.
