Description
What does a tree remember after four hundred years?
This sculpture is the living memory of matter. An ancient olive root, like an unrolling scroll, tells a story not about life — but about its very first moment: the impulse that separates form from emptiness, being from eternal stillness.
The twisted, crack-riddled form of the root is not a portrait of life, but its ghost — a dream that matter sees of itself, unfolding through space as nature’s first chapter of becoming.
The marble base serves as foundation not only physically, but symbolically: primordial matter, pure potential that precedes form. Its cold smoothness and geometric precision form a contrasting ground from which the warm, complex organic of the wood takes flight. Together they create a dialogue between the eternal stillness of stone and the timeless impulse of life it births.
Haiku by the artist:
From the emptiness of stone
A dream of wood is born…
