This piece is inspired by carretto siciliano, (or traditional Sicilian carts). These elaborately decorated two wheeled donkey or horse drawn carts would generally feature bright & bold geometric patterns along with historical or folkloric scenes painted on them.
'Bedda Matri!' is a common Sicilian phrase which translates in English to 'Beautiful Mother!' and is used as an exclamation in many ways, from expressing surprise and amazement to shock and frustration.
