Resistant Form

Rough grit grinds against a thumb pressing into a swelling ridge of silt. Each attempt to impose order meets the material's stubborn slump, where pressure carves deep hollows rather than stable height. These structural failures suggest that every layer of sediment acts like heavy-rimmed discs, stacking resistance until the original shape is buried under its own weight. The light catches the settling motes, leaving only a quiet, leveled plain.
