Fragments in Flow
Over the past few years, I have been interested in small rocks I encounter on my hikes—fragments of the Earth that are often overlooked, these rocks emerge as potent symbols in this studies.
Though they may seem insignificant, these stones play crucial roles in their ecosystems: stabilizing soil, creating microhabitats, and filtering water. Their shapes echo the surrounding landscapes, suggesting a visual dialogue between the material and the irrelevant—a conversation between the rock and the land it inhabits.
