Powder, 
White Stone





White Powder, White Stone examines the irreversible transformation of matter. The title refers to a simple but absolute condition: stone can be ground into powder, but powder cannot return to stone.







White Powder, White Stone
2016 
Ceramic, metal, textile, light, and reconfigured industrial materials
The project was developed inside an abandoned factory and surrounding industrial sites in the Veneto region, where remnants of production—discarded textiles, rusted metal, scrap wood, and leather offcuts—were collected from factory floors and emptied buildings. These materials carry the residue of labor and the afterlife of industry.

The installation assembles these fragments into fragile structures that appear both architectural and collapsing. Suspended cloth hangs like emptied skins, chimney-like towers stand hollow, and scattered materials hover between structure and erosion.

Rather than attempting restoration, the work acknowledges entropy as a fundamental condition of material and industrial systems. Matter passes through extraction, transformation, use, and abandonment. The installation holds together these fragments at the moment where structure begins to dissolve—confronting the human impulse to rebuild what cannot return to its original form.
