Marble sculpture, hand-carved, unique work.
True to its title, a flower's breath, this work abandons the figure entirely for pure blossoming gesture. Hand-carved from white marble, its frilled, wind-caught edges unfurl like petals caught mid-opening, thin as breath yet anchored in stone. Claessens polishes the undulating surfaces until they catch light in soft increments, while voids pierce the form like air moving through. It is emotional abstraction at its most distilled: tenderness with no body at all, only the trembling instant of bloom. A unique work, it transforms a fleeting exhale into something carved to outlast centuries.

What is marble?
Marble is a rare and expensive metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized limestone. It has been used for centuries to create statues, decorative floors, and walls due to its translucency and durability. Marble is ideal for both free-standing statues and relief sculptures. When carving, the material is chiseled away in small increments to achieve the desired form.
