Galaxies Gave You Matter. Love Gave You Meaning.
Matter and Meaning is a bench created as an invitation to pause, reflection, and gratitude. The work connects the cosmic with the human, telling the story of how we are all made from stardust and love. Seated here, you can feel the warmth of the sun and the hum of bumblebees in the palm of your hand.
The massive oak plank carries traces of a life marked by freedom and strength - with large knots running its entire length, bearing witness to powerful side branches. Cracks and impacts in the wood have been carefully reinforced with silver plates, meticulously riveted in place - a symbol of healing and resilience.
The bench measures 220 cm in length, 64 cm in width, and 40 cm in height. It is crafted from Danish oak with butterfly joints of 3000-year-old Danish bog oak, 320 grams of hand-hammered silver, an iron meteorite, an iron frame with black braided leather.
