"Even a brick wants to be something." - Louis Kahn
Those who step into ‘Steentijd’ discover a poetic reappraisal in which
the brick is placed upon a pedestal.
Balancing on steel wire, unique cylinders with vibrant color nuances, composed at varying heights, reveal a new bond.
Steel platforms form a subtle, pyramid-like gradient that elevates the work, making the installation visually float.
In doing so, the building block transcends its former, largely lost,
load-bearing function.
Illuminated from different perspectives, a fascinating interplay unfolds:
each element shines as a celebrated individual and simultaneously asserts its power as a collective.
This serene tribute invites you to look anew at the pure essence and rich history of this timeless material.
