suspended time

A flint shaped several millennia ago floats in contemporary space — an object fashioned by human hands in a time so distant that it becomes abstract. Deep time made present, tangible, fragile. The flint does not represent the past: it is the past. Suspended above a drawing in blue metallic pigments — a fractal structure inscribed in a diamond — the Neolithic object dialogues with a contemporary mathematical concept: reality as an infinite fractal, in constant expansion, from which consciousness emerges as a property of the structure itself. The gesture of the one who shaped the flint and the logic of the infinite fractal meet in the same space — two ways, separated by millennia, of attempting to read the fundamental organization of the world. What this work retrospectively names is already a cosmological matrix.
