About
"The idea for the Fossils vase collection came to me from fossils I found in a desert. I was fascinated by their amorphous shape and by their size, smaller than 1,5 cm. I remained a whole day watching them, sitting alone in the desert, observing them until sunset, when the inspiration came to me. Back home, I started sculpting the marble and it dawned on me to create a crude texture like the Unfinished by Michelangelo, mirroring the eroding action of the desert sand. Each piece is a functional artwork which captures the duality that is part of my research: the fossils represent the cycle of life and death, while the marble is an unchanging natural stone which can only be altered by human hands. Similarly, there is a dualism in the contrast of the rough and smooth sections, which unveil the potential of a single material."
