To lay the first stone

We’ve begun working on a short documentary portrait about a marble artist living and working in Carrara, Italy — the birthplace of the renowned white marble. Fragility, set in stone for centuries.

What stories lie within the cold veins of marble, silently holding the memory of time? And how does the warmth of the artist’s hand coax these hidden tales to the surface? It is a process of seeking truth, form, and shape — sculpting while navigating a field of endless potential.

What is the relationship between the medium and the artist, and how does the environment shape the artist in return?

These and other questions guide our journey through the making of this film. We look forward to sharing more with you soon!
