Gala

Part of the Piccolo series, “Gala” is a delicate yet powerful sculpture carved from white Carrara marble, standing 20 inches tall. The Italian word “piccolo” means small or youthful, which suggests a sense of movement and energy. “Gala” embodies this youthful spirit, representing a seed ready to sprout or a bird poised to take flight. Its form conveys hope, while its material is steeped in history. This juxtaposition of the past and future evokes the vastness of geologic time, encapsulating a universe within this single, small piece of stone. Rare and precious, “Gala” invites a new sense of wonder, emerging from the connection between the artist and the ancient marble—small, potent, and full of life.
