CELESTE MOUNTAIN
Référence :
From the stone rises a breath of light. A black triangle marks the threshold, a golden triangle crowns the momentum. Between shadow and light, François-Xavier Poulaillon’s Celestial Mountain traces the path of the gaze towards silence.

Inspiration: With Celestial Mountain, François-Xavier Poulaillon erects a silent form, both monument and prayer. From the alabaster emanates an inner light, soft and diffuse, surmounted by a golden triangle, like a motionless flame.
In the centre of the volume, a black triangle opens up an enigma: a symbol of balance or passage, it connects the earth’s depth to the momentum of the summit. Geometric rigour here becomes a spiritual language, where mineral matter becomes a receptacle of light.
Between elevation and interiority, Montagne Céleste evokes an invisible axis, linking the world of forms to that of silence.
