Responding to the current social response on immigration by drawing parallels between dealing with self preservation and relocating identity. Considering old and new heritage 

The sculptures act to portray the abundance in multi-mineral content of organic and inorganic systems and how survival is dependent on environment. The collectivity of evolution, highlighting how natural agencies bound by cyclical changes are inherent to living systems and their environments. Rock inclusions form as cultures of varying minerals; all bound together creating a sanctum of material, respective of individual space. Inclusions are an archive of events and narratives representing an epoch of change in accumulative environmental identity. Just as one culture includes aspects of other cultures yet still evolves with individualised properties. 

Does this parallel cultural displacement?

When we look closer at 'surface tension' and the 'forming of metamorphic rock' we can see it is a methodical yet chaotic process, ultimately evolving and re-identifying itself - but its previous geological state is apparent to those that look. and to look you must consider respective geological time periods. 

Does this parallel cultural displacement? The past is embedded within the rock yet it is forming a new structural formation. Demonstrating how cyclical changes are inherent to living systems such as rocks and cultures and showing how they can survive and develop. Just as societies ultimately do overlap and evolve with a combined narrative more often than we think.
