Using large blocks of mat granite, Nahara creates a series of pure, smooth and black geometric forms – cubes, pyramids, cylinders – one shape contrasting with the other but all of the same material. The perfect, shiny, black granite forms are highlighted by blocks of the same granite left in their untouched state with their irregular contours.

Based on the contrasts between void and volume, and between polished and natural surfaces, Nahara reveals the Zen inspiration in which the real nature of the universe unifies any contradictions.
