Water Stones
(2005-2007)
Water Stones explores the fragile balance between stability and collapse through carefully constructed arrangements of naturally weathered stones.
Inspired by the stone cairns increasingly found in landscapes shaped by human presence, the series moves beyond documentation to investigate tension, light, form and time. Each composition is created by balancing stones at the threshold of falling, transforming simple arrangements into studies of equilibrium and quiet anticipation.
The stones themselves embody vast geological timescales, their smooth surfaces shaped over millions of years by water and abrasion. Carefully controlled light emphasizes their texture and luminosity, revealing forms that are both sculptural and contemplative. Through these elemental materials, Water Stones reflects on the enduring relationship between natural processes, human intervention and the search for balance.
The Water Stones series is comprised of 30 images. Photographed with large format film.
