Ceres, 2020
Utah black lava rock (Scoria) and resin backlit with LED
19 x 19 inches
“Ceres is made of lava rock from the grounds of my stay in Utah - dating back 20 million years. Minimally sculpted, yet framed as a relic or monolith from the future. The piece highlights time, as an image of the future, yet sculpted from ancient material.
I crafted this piece by splitting open one of these boulders and polishing the internal face, a mix of reflective glassy surface and the pits of captured air.” - Marcus Vinicius De Paula
