Stone and Shadow
A single sandstone block glows with a faint ochre hue, highlighting a remembered moment as crisp detail amidst swirling bands of muted color. Though seemingly solid, the impression ripples under imagined pressure—a slow distortion unfolding over epochs. Rather than revealing truth, this focus illuminates absences; childhood disappointments echo in the blurred strata around it, their ghost-images informing the adult understandings formed later. The weight of time doesn’t clarify experience so much as reveal its inherent incompleteness, a quiet resonance within the stone itself.
