The precarity of our planet often inspires me to reflect on our human relationship with natural resources. If a piece of stone could speak, it would have grand tales to tell—stories spanning millions of years, originating from the dark depths below. Time, extreme temperature, pressure, and the combination of various minerals have all contributed to the unique patterns and color variations we see in stone.

MOONSTONE is a collection of marble and granite recovered from showroom floors. Through the repetition of form, each piece of stone unveils its simple beauty, transforming into a new artefact. Once part of a common bathroom or the foyer of an office building, these stones break free from their mundane human destiny and are given new life.
