Concrete is the new cave wall.

This collection draws inspiration from humanity's earliest attempts at communication through mark-making, from primitive carvings to modern struggles to assert identity. Mark-making has long been more than memory—it has been a way to impose order on chaos, carve meaning into existence, and ensure continuity across generations.

Early humans inscribed symbols, carvings, and paintings—transforming mark-making into a vital tool for survival in an unforgiving world. In a landscape of uncertainty, where seasons dictated life and death, migration patterns determined sustenance, and the night sky guided movement, these marks became essential. Etched into stone or painted onto walls, they recorded when to plant, where to find water, and how to navigate. These inscriptions evolved into maps, guides, and warnings—an enduring language of survival.

This collection returns to that raw, urgent need to record and remember. It serves as a reminder of the past, a reflection on the fundamental human impulse to leave a trace, and a challenge for the future. As civilizations rise and fall, as technology reshapes how we document our lives, how will we leave behind our own Proof of Existence for millennia to come?
