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 hold stories shaped by time, erosion, and the forces of nature. Often overlooked, these rocks emerge as potent symbols in this studies, representing the intersections of geology, history, and time.

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.
