QUARTZ is a monumental rock of 13 meters high made of a set of light sources. Its exceptional size makes it visible from great distances, inviting the visitor to get closer of the enigmatic object. When being at the foot of the installation, the large-scale notion gives the feeling of being very small. Readable and purified, QUARTZ becomes subtly integrated into the landscape and dialogues easily with the surrounding architecture. Vertical and wired geometry generate a global feeling of lightness, amplified by the posture of the object.

Standing at the foot of the rock, the mineral becomes mystical as visitors are dwarfed by its scale. The meditative feeling is enhanced by a cosmic soundscape that accompanies the installation. Symbolic and essential, QUARTZ integrates subtly into its landscape and enters into an easy dialogue with the surrounding architecture. The verticality of the installation and its wireframe geometry generate an overall feeling of lightness, amplified by the soft character of the object.
