About this artwork
The artist started with this piece of marble to make something like a loop. The hole in the middle was already there when he noticed that there was a fine break on one side. Therefore, it was clear that another way had to be found for this sculpture and the artist decided to create an open loop with a small gap. Now he is sure that the result is better than the first concept. The gap is an expression of a tension between the two ends. The traces…
of the angle grinder are left on the surface, but this structure was then sanded. That's why it's nice to touch. The sculpture is mounted on a dark stone block.
