sandstone cliff face

A sandstone cliff face reveals distinct strata, yet close inspection blurs the lines between layers—each band seeming to melt into the next. Mapping individual colonies across this stone demonstrates interlocking circles whose edges shift with every measurement, as if recording past shapes instead of current ones. The clay itself holds an iridescent sheen where branching networks appear and fade, suggesting structure isn’t fixed but a continual re-configuration born from localized activity. These forms consolidate briefly, then dissolve back into the wider system, leaving one to wonder at the nature of enduring boundaries.
