This marble sculpture draws its strength from precision rather than scale. Its circular form is articulated with a sequence of finely carved ripples, each groove cut with deliberation, creating a surface that closely recalls the structure of marine fossils shaped by water, pressure, and time.
The rhythm of these ridges is consistent yet alive, guiding the eye along a continuous spiral that never fully closes, suggesting movement held in suspension.
The hollowed centre plays an essential role in the composition. It lightens the mass of the stone and allows space to move through the form, much like currents passing through coral or shell.
This interplay between density and openness prevents the sculpture from feeling static, despite the permanence of marble. Light settles into the recessed curves, softening the stone’s surface and giving it a subtle translucence that feels almost aqueous.
Set upon a restrained base, the sculpture maintains a quiet balance between weight and flow. It does not reproduce a fossil directly but translates its structural logic into stone.
What remains is a tactile meditation on endurance, rhythm, and natural order, where marble becomes a vessel for remembering the slow, patient forces that shape both form and time.
