Two round solid forms, one on top of the other, not touching but inherently linked.
:
These forms draw attention to a division, a gap, a space in between two separate but connected things. They are a joint. They join. A passage from inside to outside. A phase in which material is broken and converted into a substance suitable for absorption and assimilation. A state like that of the soft setting stage of concrete. The pliable period that is only momentary, where you can take your hand and make an imprint in the surface. The state before it is solidified into rock and after the liquidity that runs through your fingers. The liminal space in between.
