This hybrid sculpture, crafted from white marble and black granite, suggests a quantum flight between matter and metaphor. Its clean, vertical, slightly elongated line evokes the silhouette of a bird in ascent, but also a frozen fragment of the cosmos captured in stone. The artist invites the viewer to contemplate duality: the bird — a symbol of freedom — is at the same time a celestial body, part of an inner galaxy.The work explores the relationship between the weight of matter and the lightness of ideas, between the geological past of materials and the imagined future of forms.
✨Artistic and Sci-Fi Composition (a short poetic story)
In the year 4024, in the heart of an unknown galaxy, researchers from the Archive of Life discover a strange relic — a birdlike form sculpted in stone, floating in the cosmic void. Analyses reveal it is made of marble and granite — materials impossible to find in that star system. It was a vestige of a lost civilization: Earth.
It is said that the sculpture was the key to a message sent through space and time: the bird was not only a symbol of flight, but a vehicle for consciousness. In Earth’s mythology, it was a messenger between worlds. In its cosmic version, it became an architect of galaxies — an entity navigating among stars, leaving sculptural traces in the heart of matter.
A star child, touching the work, heard the sound of Earth for the first time: wind through leaves, waves on the shore, and the heartbeat of a bird beneath the blue sky. The galaxy remembered.
