A series of sculptural objects tracing the collision of substance bodies over vast periods of time, and their violent transfigurations.

On a basic micro level plastic is a material symbol of our modern times. On a macro level, it also represents the media history of the earth itself — its micro-organic origins compressed into oil, then expelled and refined.

The series treats each fragment as a strata sample of a future archaeology.
