Objects built to symbolize permanence become evidence of impermanence. Through concrete, steel, and industrial processes, familiar icons of luxury are transformed into archaeological relics. These are not preserved as products, but as cultural evidence.

Artist Bio

Lucia Marcz is a Los Angeles–based contemporary artist whose practice explores the relationship between permanence, material, and cultural memory through sculpture.

Working primarily with concrete, metal, and industrial processes, Marcz transforms recognizable luxury objects into monumental artifacts that blur the boundaries between design, archaeology, and contemporary sculpture. The work examines how material can alter meaning, recasting symbols of status as enduring relics that invite viewers to reconsider value, history, and preservation.
