The Social Hub Carrara - Florence

Glitching While Blooming

Glitching While Blooming explores the delicate dialogue between human hand, machine, and white Carrara marble. Robotic tools introduce irregularities, which the artist shapes into surfaces of unique geometry, texture, and shadow. The work embraces imperfection, letting the process itself guide the final form.

Installed on the rooftop garden of The Social Hub in Florence - one of Italy’s first urban rooftop parks - the sculptures interact with sunlight, shifting shadows, and the surrounding cityscape. The installation creates a contemplative space where material, light, and unpredictability converge, celebrating transformation, growth, and emergence in every form.
