A dark blue fabric with soft folds serves as a backdrop for a composition featuring a brown gear and a segment of a concrete cylinder resting in a mound of fine ochre sand. The scene is illuminated by strong directional light that casts deep shadows across the textured sand and the cracked, grey stone surface below. The circular shapes of the mechanical components contrast with the irregular, granular texture of the earth and the flowing lines of the background drapery.

Broken Teeth

Each mote of silt wedged beneath a fingernail serves as a reminder of what has been buried and broken. As sunlight pierces the gloom, it illuminates a rusted gear emerging from ochre sediment, its chipped teeth no longer biting into any known sequence. The sharp staccato tap of wood against grit attempts to trace these jagged edges back to an original motion. In this quiet light, the fractured mechanism rests, finally at peace with its own stillness.
