Tethys, 2019
Italian alabaster and triphosphor coated glass filled with argon and mercury
26.25 x 5.75 x 6 inches
“Referencing monolithic forms in sci-fi narratives, this piece celebrates a classic sculptural material in a futuristic aesthetic imagining a relic of a celestial civilization. Tethys seeks to call attention to our own civilizational fragility and question our legacy and our creations.” - Marcus Vinicius De Paula
