onyx
A luminous, semi-translucent form carved from rich onyx stone, its layered bands of amber, honey, and deep brown drawing the eye into its mysteriously glowing interior. Kapoor exploits the material's natural veining and light-transmitting qualities to blur the boundary between surface and depth, solid and void. The work embodies his enduring fascination with the ineffable — a meditative object that seems to hold light captive within its dense, ancient core.
