Soft Horizons

Soft Horizons is an installation that explores transformation, memory, and materiality within the light-filled Glasshouses in Alcova. In collaboration with the brand GREEK MARBLE | Then. Now. Forever we reimagined through kinetic forms, water, and suspended reflections, inviting an intimate, sensory experience.

By allowing the marble pieces to rise from water, the installation recalls this cycle of dissolution and rebirth, mirroring the very process that gave the stone its form. Water, the silent architect of marble’s creation, dissolves, reshapes, and solidifies stone over millions of years. In some cases marble quarries were once ancient seabeds, where minerals settled and crystallized into the luminous stone we know today. Water continues to play a vital role, not just in nature, but in craftsmanship—essential in cutting, polishing, and refining marble’s surface.

The installation is funded by the governmental organization Enterprise Greece, as part of its strategic initiative to promote Greek marble internationally. This initiative includes the development of the brand “GREEK MARBLE | Then. Now. Forever.” and a series of targeted activations aimed at showcasing the industry’s strength and unique qualities.

In collaboration with the Greek Marble Association, Enterprise Greece has launched the first-ever comprehensive brand identity for Greek marble, reinforcing its global recognition and market presence.

The installation is also supported by leading Greek marble producers and exporters, listed in alphabetical order: Dionyssomarble, FHL I Kiriakidis, Iktinos, John Papagianoulis Bros, Marble Sachanas, Marmyk Iliopoulos and Stonegroup International.
