Buried Geometry

Terracotta grit lodges beneath fingernails as a ceramic vessel emerges from the soil, fused to thickening roots in an airtight grip. The clay shell holds the weight of forgotten eras within its rigid curvature, resisting any intrusion of light or air. To touch this calcified surface is to feel the heavy pressure of stratified time pressing against the skin. In this quiet collision of root and ruin, the jagged cuts of history finally settle into a seamless, unyielding symmetry.
