Anchor Twist is born from two fragments of Venetian Briccola oak poles, their surfaces carved by salt, molluscs, and decades beneath the lagoon’s restless tides. The light that passes between these two vertical elements evokes an underwater current, a hidden flow that once moved silently through the depths of Venice.
In the tradition of alcarol’s sectioning, the space between the poles is filled with a transparent resin that embodies the water once flowing there. The resin captures air bubbles, reflections, and traces of light, freezing the motion of the lagoon into a solid, translucent flow.
Through this process, Anchor Twist becomes a crystallized stream — a sculptural echo of the underwater life of Venice. Two ancient poles frame a current that no longer moves, yet still shimmers with quiet energy: where the flow of a hidden river is crystallized in stillness, captured between wood and light.
Anchor Twist is not just an object, but a living section of the Venetian Lagoon — a meeting of nature, craft, and suspended time.
