Whispers in Stone: Modern Relief Wall Sculptures Reshaping the Soul of Space
When morning light filters through the arched windows of Istanbul’s old city, casting geometric shadows on weathered stone walls; when the concrete surface of a New York loft apartment is disrupted by a single undulating groove, breaking the industrial chill—modern relief wall sculptures emerge as silent yet powerful protagonists in spatial storytelling.
