We have reached the moment when Sweet Home is truly immersed in water for the first time. This is a significant event in the life cycle of the work. The 'baptism of water', in this context, emphasises the connection between the boat and the element of water, symbolising its operational start and readiness for navigation. During this event, a boat would often be christened with a name and might be blessed by a religious or community representative, but Sweet Home already had the name before it was built and no representative of the institutions came forward.

The work considered uncomfortable and controversial by both the institutions and the museum itself, with its immersion in the waters of the Po, floats on controversy, offering ample space for discussion on important and controversial issues of artistic expression.
