Art print Black Reflection No. 2

Nature repeats its forms time and again, in entirely different contexts. A marble pattern can call to mind snow-capped mountains, melting glaciers, waves, or vast landscapes. At the same time, it could also appear like a highly magnified structure that is only visible under a microscope.

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

Marble makes this visual kinship particularly impressive. Its patterns are formed over millions of years through pressure, heat, and the combination of various minerals. This creates forms within the stone that surprisingly often resemble images from completely different parts of nature.

Perhaps that is exactly the reason 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 direct its gaze toward what has been made out of marble, but rather at what the stone itself reveals: patterns that recall forms and structures from widely differing worlds—from grand landscapes to microscopically small realms.
