An original hand-carved green marble sculpture composed of two balanced forms held in quiet suspension. Separated by a narrow interval and joined through an internal structure, the sculpture explores the tension between weight and lightness, solidity and absence. The richly veined green marble shifts in colour and depth as it catches changing light, emphasizing the natural character of the stone.
Greek green marble, hand-carved, polished, and assembled with a concealed stainless-steel support.
Approximately 30 × 4 × 4 cm
Hesychia takes its title from the Greek word Ἡσυχία, meaning stillness, silence, and inner calm. Rather than representing silence as emptiness, the work considers stillness as an active state, one in which opposing forces remain in quiet equilibrium.
Carved from a single material and separated into two distinct forms, the sculpture creates a dialogue between mass and space. The interval between the stones becomes as significant as the marble itself, inviting reflection on presence, absence, and the invisible relationships that hold things together. The natural veining of the green marble evokes geological time, while the suspended composition suggests a moment of balance held just before movement.
Hesychia explores the relationship between permanence and fragility through stone. By introducing separation rather than fracture, the work asks viewers to consider how stillness, distance, and restraint can become forms of connection. It reflects an ongoing investigation into material, memory, and the poetic potential of negative space.
This is a one-of-a-kind original marble sculpture, hand-carved by the artist from Greek green marble, signed and dated. No reproductions exist.
