Marble sculpture, hand-carved, unique work.
Here figuration almost vanishes. A long, low marble form reclines on a black stand, its body so eroded and dissolved that limbs survive only as faint swells and hollows, voids pierced clean through where contour once held. Hand-carved from white marble, the surface shifts between polished passages and rawer, weathered ones, as though the figure were melting into landscape. The title is the work itself, the moment when contours dissolve, Claessens's principle of the unfinished pushed to its furthest, most poetic edge. A unique, horizontal work that captures dissolution in the act, the body becoming pure gesture in stone.
