Petrified Intent
Rough basaltic wedges yield under a thumb to reveal a rusted compass needle, frozen mid-rotation within the compressed shale. This jagged sliver of metal suggests that even these twisting vines were once steered by deliberate, calculated hands rather than random growth. As staccato shadows dance across the matte obsidian, molten copper veins bleed into the sediment like an ancient, structured design. In this quiet light, the chaotic drift of years settles into a singular, engineered sequence.
