Water's dual nature—both destructive and creative—is perhaps best embodied in sedimentary rocks. Adorned with colors that hint at bygone eras, these rocks showcase the traces of newer and ancient times. Inspired by water's transformative process, we sought to emulate it in our own creation of sedimentary "rocks"—trying to follow the same process: grinding, depositing, forming. To destroy in order to build.
Our experimentation begins with the literal breakdown of materials: grinding, crushing, and transforming substances into powder. Employing a range of elements such as mortar, ceramics, earth, and pigments, we echo the elemental processes of nature. Recognizing the pre-existing erosion in these materials, we draw parallels to water's gradual sculpting of landscapes, forming valleys, canyons, and sandy shores. Water's dance of destruction and creation is a timeless mortar that grinds without hands.
