Card Set No. 1 – Black Reflection

Nature repeats its forms again and again, in very different contexts. A marble pattern can be reminiscent of snow-covered mountains, melting glaciers, waves, or vast landscapes. At the same time, it could also look like a highly magnified structure that only becomes visible under a microscope.

These similarities are more than a coincidence. Branches, lines, and organic patterns appear time and time again – in landscapes, water, ice, plants, or tiny structures. What seems familiar to us at one scale can suddenly reappear at a completely different one.

Marble makes this visual kinship particularly impressive. Its patterns are created over millions of years through pressure, heat, and the combination of various minerals. In the process, forms emerge within the stone that astonishingly often resemble images from entirely different parts of nature.

Perhaps this is precisely why marble has fascinated people for so long. It has been used for sculpture and architecture since the Bronze Age.

"Black Reflection," however, does not focus on what has been made from marble, but on what the stone itself reveals: patterns that evoke forms and structures from very different worlds – from vast landscapes to microscopic realms.
