The sculptor presents a haunting topography of absence and aftermath. He transforms concrete into a vessel of memory and tension, crafting a visual language. He assembles a fractured geometry into a sphere, a sculptural scene that evokes cities razed, civilizations collapsed, and time frozen mid-disaster. It emerges not from the traditional sculptural act of subtraction, but from a generative logic of fragmentation.
The choice of concrete as material is crucial, which is often overlooked, is here reimagined. The artist leaves its cracks and bubbles intact, as if refusing to mend the damage. He polishes surfaces to a quiet gleam, juxtaposing rawness with refinement.
The perspective, evoking a telescopic angle, heightens the tension between abstraction and testimony. A moon signals a cosmic metaphor, expanding into a metaphysical terrain. This celestial body is shattered mid-orbit, symbolizing a fragmented humanity searching for coherence amid chaos. It reframes the language of sculpture: from monument to memory, from form to fracture. In doing so, the artist offers not closure, but a field of echoes—where what is broken may still resonate, and where absence, paradoxically, becomes the most vivid presence.
