In "The Clearing" installation, totemic sculptures made of travertine act as symbols of both being and non-being, of materiality and ethereality. The intentional voids between these forms illuminate the ephemeral nature of existence and the continuum of being. This initiative underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, merging Van Den Weghe's mastery in stone processing with Hannes Peer's cutting-edge design. The result is the transformation of Peer's Milanese studio atelier into a space where tangible and intangible realities blend, discovering new artistic perspectives through a journey of deconstruction and metamorphosis.
