Seat of Time

the Story
“Seat of Time” is a contemplative sculpture by Lebanese artist Bassam Kyrillos, where corrosion becomes poetry and form becomes memory. Cast in aluminum and infused with deep crimson tones, this eroded throne-like structure evokes the quiet passage of centuries. a reminder that even strength yields to the rhythm of time.
The piece balances brutalist texture and refined craftsmanship, revealing a dialogue between endurance and decay. Each crevice and color gradient invites reflection on permanence, transformation, and the beauty that emerges when metal meets emotion.
Bassam’s distinctive style, blending industrial materials with organic erosion, challenges the viewer to see beyond surface and structure. “Seat of Time” stands as both relic and rebirth, a sculptural meditation on legacy and fragility.
