Above, a stone constrains the wheel's movement, generating tension and a latent rolling motion. Indeed, due to the gaping hole in their upper part, these unusual pieces have a displaced center of gravity. This gives them both stability and, once in motion, a hypnotic swaying. They contain a potential energy that keeps them in a state of constant tension, ready to tip over. Despite their apparent stability, these Dancing Suns carry within them this potential imbalance and this probability of movement.

The marble pieces in this limited series are carved from a single block of Carrara marble. The other wheels presented are made of hand-polished solid brass and solid wenge wood. The juxtaposition of these three materials creates a complementary dynamic and establishes a sensory hierarchy, reinforcing the tension between inertia and kinetic energy.

It is a green hollow where a river sings, madly catching tatters of silver on the grasses. Where the sun shines from the proud mountain. It is a small valley foaming with rays.

A constellation of identical volumes unfolds on the floor. These enigmatic pieces are arranged there like fragments of an unknown language or fossilized remnants of a forgotten ritual. Their mass is evident, their silence weighty. At first glance, everything seems suspended, frozen.
