Hale BC represents both the physical presence of Benedetta Rogora and a name chosen to honor all that is mysterious and beautiful.

In 1997, the comet Hale-Bopp made a breathtaking appearance in the sky, quickly becoming the brightest comet seen in decades. For over a year, it graced humanity’s view, day and night, with its glowing tail and serene presence.

I couldn’t fully grasp it, yet I was deeply moved and grateful to witness such a magnificent phenomenon.

The same sense of wonder and appreciation extends to everything I encounter that captures my attention. To make sense of the world around me—and the world within—I draw it.
