Ochre Traces
Dusting reveals layers of gears pressed into clay, resembling ancient footprints—the lowest bearing deliberate patterns, not scattered ruin. These arrangements hint at external forces dictating their fall; decisions shaping placement instead of simple breakdown. Ochre-stained metal flashes intermittently with reflected light, splitting it into opaque strata as if measuring a past intensity against the present stillness. Each piece embodies an ethics born from severing action from its inevitable aftermath.
