Menhir

Standing a stone upright is the first sculptural act there is — marking the vertical, setting a presence against the earth. Menhir takes that ancient gesture and runs it through a digital awareness: the stone that rises here wasn't found and hauled into place, it was generated and printed, and it still keeps the full solemnity of the monolith. The form climbs like a flame, slender and crystalline, and its facets hold the tension between an algorithmic origin and the megalithic weight of something made to stand. It's a menhir of a second genesis: no longer the memory of a people that raised a stone, but a figure in which an old sense of the sacred and a contemporary act of calculation recognise each other in the same upward push.
