Introducing RELIC 02: THE ASCENT — a singular metal artwork by Charles Lethaby.

Individually machined, engraved and finished in Grade 5 titanium, this piece is strictly 1/1. Once acquired, THE ASCENT in titanium will never be produced again.

THE ASCENT captures the raw power and precision of launch — a permanent record of one of humanity’s most defining acts of engineering. The composition centres on a heavy-lift rocket at ignition, framed by the stark geometry of the launch structure and grounded by the presence of the flag — a quiet reminder of origin, ambition and intent.

The engraved titanium surface creates a restrained interplay of light and shadow. Fine details emerge gradually as the piece is viewed from different angles, revealing new characteristics as the metal responds to its surrounding light.

Sized to the proportions of a traditional baseball card, THE ASCENT measures approximately 89 × 64 mm, translating a familiar and collectible format into a permanent material form.
