Karst Stone, Extraclear Polished RESIN.
Karst landscapes are shaped by the patient work of water — dissolving, carving, and vanishing through stone over countless millennia. From the Dolomites’ ancient depths, alcarol retrieves fragments of this terrain, their surfaces marked by erosion, moss, and time.
Encased in a crystal-clear resin that recalls still water, each fragment becomes a suspended landscape — a pause in motion, a moment of geology stilled. The flowing element that once shaped these stones now lies motionless, its movement crystallized into transparency.
The Floating Karst Vase is a fragment of land held between presence and absence. The stone seems to hover in space, as if gravity had loosened its hold, while above it, life unfolds in impermanent bloom. The flower — fleeting, delicate — rises from the stillness of rock shaped by ancient waters. It is a vessel where the eternal sustains the ephemeral, where time pauses to let life continue.
A quiet dialogue between motion and stillness, weight and levity, permanence and the passing of a petal.
