Curatorial text
This work brings together two elements shaped by radically different temporalities: a fragment of tree root and a stone.
The root, once part of a living organism, speaks of growth, tension and direction. Its form reveals an internal logic driven by survival (searching, anchoring, resisting). The stone, by contrast, carries the weight of geological time: inert, dense, almost indifferent to movement or intention.
Their union is neither decorative nor symbolic in a literal sense. It does not propose a narrative of harmony, but a point of contact. A moment where organic impulse and mineral permanence meet, without one dominating the other.
Rather than representing nature, the piece exposes a structural dialogue between forces: growth and stillness, fragility and endurance, time that advances and time that accumulates. What remains is not an object, but a tension held in balance.
