Over one hundred million years have shaped these limestone sediments of Capri island; They hold memory of life in the sea before a great mass extinction at the end of Cretaceous time changed the Earth forever. All forming part of the geological cycle that moves with the force of slowness. Earth time is far from my reality; I am made to live with the immediacy of my temporality.
There is still time… I stop and observe the breathtaking beauty that these rocks of Capri unfold before me. The emergence of the cliffs is of such diversity, something beyond all human capacities. The aesthetic is orchestrated with the profound experience of a master and signed with a single name: the earth. Like in an open-air art gallery, I admire the abstract performances, there is no beginning or end, forming the inexhaustible source of my inspiration. These rocks invite me to rethink my position and my awareness in the face of time and earth.
