Mathieu Lehanneur is a French artist whose Ocean Memories collection depicts stone in an illusory liquid state.
Through a captivating use of material synecdoche, the artist uses a few waves in the stone to represent the entire ocean, exploring a shared human fascination with the sea. Lehanneur intends the series to provide an intimate, non-verbal response, triggering the same feelings of contemplation that are associated with looking out over a great expanse of ocean. Intellectually stimulating, the series demonstrates how something on the scale of the Earth can be condensed into something comprehensible.
