Passion projectProject 02 / 04
The Turbo Era
A passion project combining Carrara marble, steel, welding, CAD, and fabrication into one sculptural interpretation of a turbocharger.
The process
A leftover block of Carrara marble was carved into the turbo housing. The manifolds were welded and painted, while the turbine section was drawn, cut, layered, and welded to create a dimensional, partially transparent view.
The outcome
The sculpture became an early proof of what can happen when stone, steel, fabrication, and automotive passion are treated as one creative language. It also helped lead to the Lamborghini commission.
