Atmosphere ≠ Totality

2023–25 The series brings together meteorites and volcanic stones. While volcanic stones has risen from the Earth’s interior as lava and reached the surface, meteorites have travelled through space and the Earth’s atmosphere. Their paths now intersect within the series – the extraterrestrial is juxtaposed with the terrestrial. In their symbiosis, they weave time and space into a tangible materiality. Meteorites and volcanic stones are forms of entropic matter – substances that existed long before human history and will continue to exist far beyond it. Many meteorites are older than the Earth itself. These extraterrestrial fragments often date back to the early formation of our solar system, making them witnesses to cosmic history. Through the combination of these two materials, matter from the depths of space encounters matter from the depths of the Earth. Their convergence reveals the Earth itself as part of a larger cosmic continuum.            |
