Inhabited Matter

Inhabited Matter explores the presence of stones as more than inert material. Inspired by traditions of stone appreciation, the series approaches stones as sculptural figures that carry a vitality beyond their surface.

Removed from their original contexts with care, the stones are not displayed as isolated artifacts but as presences unfolding within a field of relations. Without bases or framing devices, their forms remain open – unbounded, yet resonant.

This sculptural experiment extends my ongoing inquiry into more than human aesthetics. While not photographic in the strict sense, the visual logic persists: composition, spatial attention, and the act of looking remain central. In their stillness, the stones evoke an inhabited quality that unsettles the boundary between art and nature, the made and the found.
