The plants and rocks held within the crystals symbolise traces of landscapes and life that once existed. The transparent crystals act as vessels, carrying these memories into the future.

The work is composed of multiple layers of transparent acetate, each containing fragments of a digitally created landscape alongside lines of poetry. Each layer represents a different moment in time, a sense of distance, or a fragment of memory. As the layers overlap, they come together to reveal a single landscape.

As viewers move around the installation and shift their perspective, the relationship between image and text changes, revealing different views of the landscape. This reflects how memory and our connection with nature are never fixed, but continually transformed by time, distance and perspective.

The work invites viewers to reflect on invisible voices, lingering memories, and the new connections that emerge through distance.
