FOLLOWING THE TIDE
Coffee-table Collection
​
This collection is inspired by the lagoons and cenotes in the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico: the movement of the tide and the change in topography reveal different materials shaping the intersection of earth and water. "Following the Tide" is an explosion erupted from the circular nucleus, dispersed into crushed Forest Green marble and aggregates of recuperated brass. It is composed in a pigmented resin on an oxidized bronze base.
Dimensions | W 193 cm, L 145 cm, H 40 cm
Materials | Forest Green Marble, Resin, Recuperated Brass Powder
Date of Completion | September 2019
Production | The Piecemakers @thepiecemakers_beirut and Marm Group @marmgroup
