    We are told we live in the era of the Anthropocene, but our print on the earth's geological story might not be as deep as we think. Maybe this bias comes from a bit of hubris from humankind.

Digging through layers, narratives intricate, showing tensions and resolutions with decayed materials, to highlight those storylines and ambiguous shapes from the past through yarns and textile.
This playful soil topography displays the impact of radioactive components to fungi,soil and fossils, bringing this tiny ambiguous soil extract back to life.
