Geometric Silt Residue
Fine silt settles under fingernails as a scraping tool strikes the rigid, coiled edge of a fossilized nautilus embedded in the sediment. This geometric intruder suggests an intentional architecture once governed the descent of matter through chaotic layers of earth. As the distinction between organic shell and surrounding clay blurs, they merge into one inseparable substance. In this quiet union, it becomes clear that what we call intent is not forced upon the world, but grows from its very composition.
