Sculpture “The Race of Particles”
Hand-carved from a single block of marble, “The Race of Particles” evokes the quark theory, formulated by the physicist Murray Gell-Mann in 1969: quarks are elementary particles that are attracted to one another by a fundamental force and which, whilst they can never be isolated, constitute observable matter. A fascinating piece!
Natural pieces: the colour of the marble may vary from one piece to another.
