Time Machine by David Liang – White Marble

David Liang (b.1976) is a contemporary sculptor who brings marble to life with exceptional precision. His pieces are carved entirely by hand and reflect both a deep grounding in art history and considerable technical skill. Time Machine is one of his most absorbing works, a sculpture built around the scientific idea of a wormhole. In physics, a wormhole is a theoretical link in space-time that draws distant points in the universe closer, as if space and time were folded over. This edition is hand-carved in white marble, its open, looping lines reading as a passage between past, present and future, like a gateway joining two worlds. The pale stone keeps the focus on the flowing silhouette and the play of light across the polished surface. The sculpture rests on a turned marble foot and suits both modern and classical interiors, where it works as a quiet talking point about time and continuity.
