Sculpture which was made with Carrara marble, flowers and water. The top surface of the marble is carved about 20mm, and water accumulated on the surface. The flowers are floating there. The flowers can't live without the water, the water can't accumulate without the marble. The marble is just a vessel, if a relationship is not established in this situation. It is the relationship pregnant with tightness or flexibility.
