Synopsis

"Even with your eyes open, you can't see anything. You are a part of the earth's limitless manifestations." (Weerasethakul) These stones taken from the Chiang Dao Cave would sometimes spur the artist to contemplation, recalling the "obscurity of the cave and the presence of millions of stones, all different, all individual, in the sky".
