The artwork invites viewers to consider how the artificial world is segmented and to question the fidelity of these human-made systems to their natural counterparts.The piece becomes a metaphor for the act of mapping itself, not just in the geographical sense but also in the way we attempt to navigate and impose order on the wild, untamed complexities of nature. This juxtaposition raises intriguing questions about the relationship between the environment and our interpretation of it, highlighting the interplay between natural textures that have evolved over millennia and the relatively recent human endeavor to document, understand, and control them.The artwork examines the intersection of nature's chaos and humanity's order. The natural texture of the rock and the map-like lines on the tracing paper question where the organic ends and the artificial begins. It's a visual conversation about the earth's raw forms and our attempts to chart and comprehend them, blurring the lines between the rugged surface of a rock and the structured contours of a map.
