Project Description

​

Rocks in nature clash in water for millions of years

to take on a temporary shape they are destined for. I was sitting by a creek fascinated by that thought, back then I perceived rocks as heavy, unalterable, grey objects placed

in the scope of a natural setting, each rock is uniquely lonesome but serves company to each other. Kind of like buildings, when stood together, represent an organized mess. Suddenly a bird flew by, and I thought about whether something we perceive as so heavy can become light. Using the tools this modern world can provide.

It was crucial for the setting to seem natural to the rocks, to create a feeling of disturbed gravity. 20 rocks are cut in the middle using a drill and hung from the PVC pipes with a fishing line. The PVC pipes were cut using a saw and connected through small tubes.
 
Light and buoyant, they gently sway.
