Rose Quartz Eroded Guitar

2014

This sculptural work transforms a recognizable guitar form into an eroded, fragmented object through the use of rose quartz and marble materials. The artist employs hydrostone as a binding medium to create a composition that appears weathered and deteriorated, as if exposed to natural forces over time. The rose quartz fragments catch light, giving the piece a luminous quality despite its damaged appearance. The work explores themes of decay and transformation, challenging our perception of familiar objects.
