Exhibitions

Land, reshaped. The earth, as both medium and metaphor, is the genesis of creation. In Terra Forma, sculpture emerges from the bedrock of transformation, where raw material—Marble, wood, metal, glass, resin—mutates into new topographies of form and meaning. It is an exhibition of shaping and reshaping, where surfaces are not merely planes but landscapes of tension, inquiry, and revelation.

Each piece in Terra Forma carries the memory of its material: the weight of marble, the grain of timber, the sinew of welded steel. In the hands of these sculptors, these substances become more than themselves—they become gestures frozen in time, tectonic shifts rendered in three dimensions. Wood breathes. Glass fractures into light. Brass holds the echoes of fire. Every sculpture is an act of transmutation, a dialogue between the artist and the elements, where the solid resists and yields in equal measure.

But beyond their materiality, these sculptures invoke a deeper inquiry: How do we inhabit the world? How does the body relate to mass, to volume, to void? The works in Terra Forma map unseen landscapes, distill movement into stillness, and conjure weight from the ephemeral. They demand that we move, that we navigate their presence, that we negotiate our own solidity in their company. Here, the earth does not remain as it was—it is lifted, molded, fractured, fused. It is formed anew, not just by the artist’s hand, but by the beholder’s gaze. Terra Forma invites us to witness these metamorphoses and, in doing so, reimagine our own relationship with the material world.
