Meteorite I
2025
Obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed by the rapid cooling of lava, holds reflective mineral inclusions—crystallized traces of iron, feldspar, or magnetite. A meteorite rests in silence upon an Earth where only silver sand remains. Its intact form upon impact suggests a thinning atmosphere, a sky less resistant to the descent of cosmic debris. When a meteorite exhibits signs of artificial modification, does it reflect a tendency to project human constructs onto natural phenomena?
The second meteorite sculpture bears a distinct trace of human presence. As we gaze into the universe, are we truly perceiving the landscape as it is, or are we instinctively searching for echoes of our own creations within it? If a meteorite were to show signs of artificial modification, would it challenge our understanding of reality—perhaps even suggesting that our world is not as it seems?
