  1. Architecture is a perfect metaphor, an allegory in volume. When placed its sculptural limits beget a kind of artistic proposition — and when considered with reduced anthropomorphism and ungeologically — produce a ready-made analog to the causation and bounds of our attempts at the understanding of all things.

From Diachronic Study of Aphrodite: Sediments of Milos, Aegean Sea, Greece

Rising from volcanic ash, pumice, and sculpted by the winds of the Aegean Sea, the lunar-white landscape at Sarakiniko Beach in Milos, Greece, shows deposits and erosion shaped across geological time along the island's soft coastal edge. While much of the island was formed by older volcanic rock shaped two to three million years ago, Sarakiniko's soft volcanic tuft makes this coastline young.

The photograph approaches the ground as a threshold of the island's material memory, where surface texture holds the slow choreography of wind, salt, and compression. Along this shore, the wind of the Aegean Sea continually strips away the surface, each revealed layer renewing the terrain’s pale surface. Its natural form rises softly, like the sea foam that once bore Aphrodite to shore. A mythic bloom sits between its geological explanation and luminosity.
