The circle holds movement without letting it escape. Carved into marble, the spiral turns inward with a quiet insistence, each blade-like curve guiding the eye toward the hollow at its centre. It recalls a whirlpool not in its violence, but in its certainty: the kind of force that does not rush, yet cannot be resisted.
What is striking is the way motion has been slowed into permanence. The surface alternates between softly textured planes and smoother arcs, allowing light to move as the water once would have. Shadows deepen between the curves, giving the impression that the spiral continues beyond the visible stone. The central opening becomes more than a void; it is a pause, a moment of gathering where energy concentrates before dispersing again.
Set upon a raw, earthen rock, the polished marble gains a second voice. The base feels ancient and unsettled, while the circle above is measured and exact. Together, they suggest a dialogue between nature’s untamed force and human desire to understand, to shape, to still.
This is not a depiction of motion frozen mid-action. It is motion remembered. A force made contemplative. The sculpture does not pull you in; it invites you to stand at the edge and feel the quiet pull of something endlessly turning, held in balance between power and calm.
