In this collection, the perceived weight of the earth is reimagined as something ethereal and hollow. These sculptural "paper stones" are hand-formed vessels that mimic the geological permanence of river rocks while possessing the startling lightness of air. Rendered in a stark, bone-white palette, they serve as a meditation on the fragility of our foundations and the resilience of the life that clings to them.

The surface of each stone is skin-like, carrying the delicate impressions of intaglio-printed epiphytes. By wrapping these "air plants"—species that grow upon others without taking root in the soil—around the contours of the paper forms, the work explores themes of displacement and atmospheric survival. The intricate, etched details of the plants wrap around the stones’ curves, creating a tactile dialogue between the terrestrial and the botanical.

Hollow and weightless, these sculptures subvert our expectations of stone as a symbol of unyielding strength. Instead, they suggest a landscape that is porous and vulnerable, where the inhabitants must find ways to thrive in the spaces between the earth and the sky. Lithic Breath invites a quiet contemplation of what remains when the density of the world is stripped away, leaving only the memory of growth and the ghost of a landscape.
