Speed of Light

Speed of Light (2025) by MET Devoti is a marble sculpture that embodies a universal sentiment of love, placing the human being at the center of its symbolic universe. The work acts as a silent bridge between the heart and the sun—two forces that attract, mirror, and nourish one another in an intimate, cosmic dialogue. Through its elegant forms and luminous conceptual framework, the sculpture evokes a binary system where emotional intensity becomes a gravitational force.

The title, Speed of Light, transforms a scientific notion into a poetic metaphor for thought and feeling. Just as light travels swiftly, cutting through space with clarity and purpose, so too do pure and sincere emotions—penetrating, radiant, and immediate. In this vision, love becomes a bright trajectory that unites interior and eternal worlds, illuminating the intimate spaces of the spirit.

The work presents an intense and contemplative reflection on the nature of affection, revealing how an authentic sentiment can transcend distances and boundaries, reaching its destination with the same unstoppable energy as a beam of light. Speed of Light thus stands as a luminous hymn to human connection, where marble—traditionally a symbol of permanence—captures the fleeting brilliance of emotion and transforms it into timeless form.
