Dante speaking:

This is the object, which is my wedding ring and I am giving you this because very recently my marriage came to a conceptual stop. This is probably one of the last remaining physical evidences of it. I was thinking about what it means. What everybody says, that you should close circles, and this is a circle. And to me, reading about your project, what you told me about it, I think it’s a nice way to letting go because supposedly a golden ring it’s something that even beyond the sentimental value, it has a monetary value and most people wouldn’t probably just give it away.

To me it’s a nice way of letting go. I wore it last night, just to wear it for the last time, and I am glad to give it to you.

It also symbolizes something that is very valuable in my life. I spent many beautiful years with this person and do not want to have this object reminding me everyday about this, but stored in some box or something. I would rather just to have the memory in my head and just give you that.
