The story behind
The New Ground — the drawing, two panels: terracotta paths through the streets below St Peter's, then up close
The New Ground — Terracotta — the silk pattern

Artwork by Xuechen Chen & Phuong Mai Do
Design by X.C Studio

Rome is made of fragments — history layered over history, never fully erased. Here they settle into a flat field of quiet color: how old and new share the same ground, and how much life a street can hold.
