Functional sculpture, 2025

Simultaneously a sculpture and a functional piece, this artwork reflects Philippe Cramer’s interest in art placed outdoors. The simplicity of the gesture, reminiscent of a Möbius strip, is elevated by the technical feat required to shape the stone. The artist suggests that this ancient mass of rock, seemingly frozen for millennia, has been transformed by the influence of a higher force.

The title of the work, a Latin phrase meaning “forever and ever”, evokes the concept of eternity.
