Description
Edition 01: Monochrome
A one-of-a-kind stone art set (5 stones) created by Marika, presented in a paulownia (kiri) wood box and wrapped in hand-traced calligraphy paper. You will receive the exact set pictured.
The Concept: Intersecting Timelines
“Silent Fragments” is a dialogue between two different scales of time.
One is geological time—stones shaped over millennia by the harsh waves of the Tsugaru coast.
The other is human time—captured in antique Japanese manuscripts.
By wrapping these silent stones in traces of historical words, this work offers a fragment of eternity for your space.
The Stones in This Set: Layers & Rhythms
This set focuses on the rhythmic beauty of geological layers, featuring stones with delicate ink-wash gradients and misty grey patterns.
• The Crest: A dark stone with a soft diagonal grey band, like a wave cresting under a moonlit sky.
• The Ink Wash: An elongated stone with a natural gradient—like sumi-e brushstrokes dissolving into mist.
• The Cloud: A rounded pale stone with a complex textured surface, reminiscent of a dense cluster of clouds.
• The Strata: A compact fragment marked by distinct vertical stripes, revealing time’s slow accumulation.
• The Depth: A smooth matte-black orb that anchors the lighter tones with quiet gravity.
As these are natural stones, textures and colors are inherently one of a kind. The set pictured is the exact set you will receive.
The Wrapping: Traces of History
The translucent wrap is a hand-traced reproduction of an old Japanese handwritten document (calligraphy). Its flowing lines carry the breath of the past.
