For centuries, humans have carved into these mountains in search of marble. Cutting, drilling and removing enormous volumes of stone from the landscape. What appears at first as a sublime, almost otherworldly terrain is, on closer inspection, a landscape fundamentally shaped by human intervention.

My photographs explore the tension between the monumental and the damaged. The dramatic cliffs, immense voids and pale surfaces evoke a timeless, geological landscape, while the traces of machinery and extraction reveal the scale of human presence.

Carrara is a landscape caught between nature and culture, permanence and destruction. The mountains seem ancient and eternal, yet their present form is the result of continuous human intervention. This landscape is one of the most visible manifestations of the Anthropocene. Here, the sublime is no longer found in untouched nature, but in the overwhelming scale of what we have altered.
