Your eyes insist it is fabric. Your hands would disagree. This intricate piece, created by Greek artist Argiris Rallias, is not cotton lace but marble carved to imitate it.
The surface mimics crocheted patterns, complete with layered folds and openwork details that appear almost fragile.
Marble is traditionally associated with solidity and permanence. Here, it becomes something that looks light and flexible.
The work challenges assumptions about material limits. Stone remains stone. The illusion lingers.
