"Where Do You Begin"

Where Do You Begin?

A hypnotic work built around the question every artist, collector, and human eventually faces: where do you begin? The spiral pulls the viewer inward, suggesting memory, confusion, rebirth, and the endless search for a starting point. Its gold surface gives the piece a feeling of value and permanence, while the black and white lines create a visual loop that feels both playful and psychological.

The handwritten question in the corner makes the work feel intimate, almost like a note left behind during the creative process. The spiral becomes a map without clear directions, reminding us that beginnings are rarely clean or obvious. Sometimes the first step is not a straight line. Sometimes it is a circle, a loop, or a return to the center.

This piece speaks to uncertainty, creation, and momentum. It captures the moment before action, when the idea exists but the path has not yet revealed itself.

Additional Notes:
Each artwork is an original, one-of-one creation produced by Marcel Katz in Cannes, France. Created using acrylic, oil stick, and spray paint on canvas, no two works are alike. This piece was exhibited during the 2026 Cannes Film Festival at Victim of Gold and stands as a unique artifact within the artist's evolving body of work.

Every order includes the frame, a leather case, a Maison Marcel presentation box, an outer protective box, a microfiber cloth, authenticity card, certificate of provenance, and the printed care booklet.

A care booklet is included with every order. Clean the lenses with the provided microfiber cloth. Store your frame in its leather case when not in use. Keep it away from heat, alcohol-based products, and salt water. Treat it as you would a collectible object.

Each frame begins with Italian cellulose acetate, shaped and polished by hand in Modena. Artisans refine every line until the form feels inevitable. Precision replaces speed, and every gesture preserves intention.
