Seeing Through Time
19 November 2023
Seeing Through Time explores the remains of the world preserved in stone — material evidence of Earth’s memory that resists erasure in an increasingly immaterial age. The stones, collected from locations across the planet, include many I have personally gathered from the mountains of the South of France, a region deeply tied to my family history. These visits form a living connection to my ancestors and transform my relationship to the land.
 
Each chosen stone is a fragment of reality, holding within it a moment of geological and personal time. Sliced into thin sections, as a geologist would, they are placed on solar plates, where light penetrates their structure. The resulting images reveal compositions shaped over millions of years, each transparency a portal into the planet’s deep archive.
 
In allowing light to pass through these stones, I invite viewers to see not only the Earth’s geological history but also the intertwined narratives of human presence and environmental change. These prints stand as both records and reminders — that what remains, however fragile, anchors us to the continuity between past, present, and future.
