Installed in a straight line over one mile of the town of Targu Jiu, Romania, Constantin Brincusi's monumental sculptural trilogy - Table of Silence, Gate of the Kiss, and Endless Column - memorializes the Romanian soldiers who fought in World War I. A design of 17 cast-iron rhomboids stacked a soaring 96 feet high, The Endless Column, also known as the column of the Infinite, was erected, as Brincusi put it, 'to support the vault of heaven.' At its stylistic roots are traditional funeral columns specific to the southern part of Romania. These roots are not anomalous, as magic, myths, folklore and exotic cultures fueled Brincusi's work. These traditional, old world inspirations formed a unique contrast to the sleek, modern creations for which he is acclaimed. 
Just as no work of art exists in a vacuum, no artist works in a vacuum. Through startling clear photographs with powerful perspective of Brincusi's deceivingly simple geometric monument, Roberto expresses artistic and spiritual veneration for his compatriot Brincusi. Brincusi's inspiration was first of all a spiritual one, and Roberto conveys this deftly through his medium of photography. Like the son honoring the legacy passed to him by the father, and with powerful simplicity, Roberto's images of the Endless Column reinvigorate that legacy for the new century, and beyond national borders.
