A full-screen architectural photograph of a single, large-scale minimalist sculpture made of off-white Carrara marble.

This series explores the profound intersection of geological permanence and the ephemeral nature of light. Each monolith is hand-carved to capture the subtle shifts of dawn, transforming heavy stone into a vessel for atmospheric weightlessness.The collection was first debuted at the Pavilion d'Art as a site-specific installation focusing on silence.INQUIRE

A study in tactile nuance and raw materiality.

Photography of a medium-sized art object, a combination of frosted glass and heavy stone, resting on a minimal off-white plinth. The composition uses significant white space. The style is contemporary and serene, using a palette of white, off-white, and dark gray.

A vertical, full-width photograph of a tall, slender sculpture made of weathered warm-gray stone against an off-white gallery wall. The lighting is crisp and clean, casting a sharp shadow that mimics the sculpture's form. The setting is a minimalist studio in Western Europe.

A wide, horizontal view of an art exhibition in a high-end North American gallery. Large-scale stone works are spaced widely apart on a light floor. The atmosphere is quiet, museum-like, and very minimal. Only the art and the architecture are visible, with no people.
