By intentionally abandoning the conventional pursuit of perfectly smooth foil application, this artwork embraces fractures, fissures, and layered irregularities—textures once regarded as imperfections. These naturally occurring cracks and tonal variations create a powerful, sculptural presence that feels organic, dynamic, and distinctly contemporary.

Designed to mount flush against the wall, the panel integrates seamlessly into interior spaces, creating a strong sense of unity with its surroundings. Over time, the brass and silver leaf naturally changes in tone and patina, allowing the artwork to evolve and mature uniquely within its environment.

Each panel is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in Japan. As a result, no two pieces are exactly alike, making every work a true one-of-a-kind art piece.

Produced using techniques recognized as a Traditional Craft of Japan since 1977, this artwork embodies both heritage craftsmanship and modern artistic expression.

About “Crack”

LUCE “Crack Silver” explores the beauty born from rupture and transformation. As layers of metal leaf overlap, natural cracks emerge organically, revealing glimpses of underlying leaf through the fissures. These intersections of fracture, oxidation, and color variation form a complex harmony that evokes both strength and vitality.

Never fully complete, the surface continues to change subtly over time, allowing the viewer to witness the living evolution of the material itself—an artwork shaped not only by craftsmanship, but by time. See less
