Sculptures made from pebbles and stones shaped by ancient rivers.These rocks have rolled for millions of years along riverbeds, acquiring a naturally balanced, polished, and sinuous form. Touching them evokes serenity, peace, and calm.
Projecting wishes or intentions onto them transforms them into personal guides for life. Materials: Tensioned steel (used as the inner structure), thread (for joining and finishing elements), and river stones combined with ceramic details. No materials are ever taken directly from natural environments.
All stones are sourced from authorised aggregate suppliers.
Inspired by the ancestral relationship between nature, metal, and thread, the structure creates a dialogue between strength and fragility.
It symbolises the passage of time and the enduring presence of nature within urban environments.
Statement of Intent sculptures are designed to harmoniously integrate into public space: It offers a symbolic connection with nature, bringing into cities the mystery of river stones formed long before human existence and sculpted by the flow of water over millennia.
It embodies the union of deep past and future vision. It also honours the memory of manual textile work.
The use of thread pays tribute to generations of workers—particularly women—who operated spinning and weaving machines powered by water energy.
Machines such as the carder, the spinner, the mule Jenny, the self-acting mule, the twister and the winder.
Finally, it creates a space for contemplation and reflection.
The river stone becomes a witness to the passage of time, visualising the quiet strength of a material shaped patiently by the rhythms of nature, now reimagined in a contemporary sculptural language.
