How can holes this perfect be made by nature? 🐚
When we first came across the stones behind our “Pacific Marks” collection, we thought their perfectly shaped holes must have been made by humans.
Through observation and research, we discovered their actual creators: rock-boring mollusks.
When young, they settle into tiny cracks in the rock. As they grow, they slowly enlarge their cavities, moving deeper into their stony homes until they are completely enclosed.
What surprised us next was how incredibly light and fragile the abandoned stones had become. Even a little pressure can cause them to break apart.
We wanted to capture this sense of fragility and weightlessness.
Finding the right contrast was key to revealing the delicate structures and cavities while making the stones appear to float above the paper.
The colours stay close to the stones’ natural tones, emphasizing their quiet and subtle character.
