Cultural transformation processes, especially when they have religious dynamics, are often excessively disruptive and brutal. The example here shows the head of a sculpture from the pagan culture of late antiquity, which was symbolically adapted by the young Christian community. The treasure trove of forms survives many generations, the symbolisms change and determine the new.

These days, we are also experiencing extremely disruptive transformation processes, changes in symbolism that are also reflected in public spaces and are giving our city centers a new face, for example. It is interesting to note that the treasure trove of forms from antiquity, which was able to recover in the 19th century, seems to be gaining massive popularity in modern architecture again. The new, often clothed in old forms, emerges from the vulgarianization that occurs in times of crisis, a reborn aesthetic from man's will to achieve beauty.
