Artist Statement
Monolith translates the idea of a single, immovable block into a surface of constant optical motion. Formed as a 227 × 30 × 110 cm mirrored stainless-steel slab, the sculpture holds a clean, architectural outline while its skin is pushed into soft, irregular waves.
Reflections travel vertically across the metal, stretching sky, architecture and passers-by into a fluid pattern that changes with every step. From a distance, the piece reads as a solid plane; up close, it becomes a dense landscape of micro-reflections, where stillness and movement coexist on the same surface.
The work invites the viewer to orbit slowly around it, discovering how the monolithic form absorbs and reworks its surroundings, turning a simple volume into a living column of light.
1/1 Installation
Install free-standing with full 360° access and at least 1 m of clearance around the sculpture. Neutral walls and soft, even lighting (3000–4000 K) allow the vertical ripples to read clearly without harsh glare. Monolith works especially well in galleries, lobbies and outdoor courtyards where its height and reflective field can engage with open space and changing light.
1/2 Relational Works
Works that naturally relate to Monolith in theme and form include:
Liquid Mercury II – dense square relief of liquid-metal reflections
Obelisk – tall reflective column with pointed apex
Mercury Column – slender vertical shaft with liquid surface
Liquid Landscape – reflective relief exploring terrain-like ripples
