tectonic (limited edition print) · Paracas / Peru · 2013

Our little, perishable human eyes make Earth seem so immutable. Rock-solid cliffs look like they always have been and always will be. Of course, the planetary face is changing as it ages, just like ours, just a little slower. Future generations will have to redraw the physical map according to what erosion, climate change, and tectonic movements dictate. And tectonic change is bound to happen on that political map too, as homo not-always-so-sapiens pushes or erases arbitrary borders with pencils or tanks. We will all be moved by this constant and inevitable change, one way or another, literally and figuratively. Those who desperately cling to the known, might find that it doesn’t have much grip. Those who welcome the unknown might find comfort in the embrace of change.
