Everything flows

- The book alludes to the continuity between past and present, showing how water, which for centuries has shaped the culture of stonemasons and rock itself, is now present in the dialogue between marble, photography and sculpture

Everything Flows explores the interconnectedness of water, time and artistic creation. Inspired by Heraclitus’ philosophy of constant flow, the book captures the essence of sculptor Filippo Tincolini’s work, reflecting the continuous flow of thought and gesture from the initial concept to the finished sculpture. Water, a symbol of this perpetual movement, becomes a tangible element in Laura Veschi’s photography, its ‘sound’ echoing the creative process and the transformation of materials.
The project also highlights the enduring nature of artistic tradition, where ancient skills such as stonemasonry are reinterpreted in contemporary art. Just as water shapes stone over time, tradition influences artists like Tincolini, bridging past and present. Veschi’s black and white photographs document Tincolini’s journey, capturing the evolution of form and the interplay between artist, material and the silent narrative of water. Each image represents a moment in this constant transformation and celebrates the enduring power of artistic creation.
