An imposing archway that bridges the ancient world with the modern. "The Gateway" stands as a
ruin of a future civilization, its weathered surface suggesting the passage of eons. It frames
the landscape, inviting the viewer to step through into a realm of myth and memory.
Technical Details
Indiana Limestone. 4 meters in height. The structure is modular, designed to be disassembled for
transport. The finish involves acid-etching and sandblasting to accelerate the weathering
aesthetic.
The Process
Inspired by megalithic structures like Stonehenge and Göbekli Tepe. The segments were cut with a
3-meter diamater saw, then manually distressed with chiseled hammers. The goal was to create
something that looked like it had been standing for a thousand years, despite being born
yesterday.
Artist's Note
"A door is a question. An open door is an invitation. This gateway leads nowhere, which means it
leads everywhere. It asks you to choose your own destination once you step through the
threshold."
