Mineral deposits trace downward across weathered concrete, forming stark white lines shaped by water and gravity. The drips resemble natural formations—waterfall, root, or ice—softening the boundary between built structure and elemental process.
What appears fixed and permanent begins to shift under closer observation. Concrete, designed for durability, becomes marked over time as moisture carries minerals through small fractures in the surface.
Rather than framing this alteration as deterioration, the photograph observes it as record: a quiet accumulation of climate, gravity, and duration made visible on the material itself.
Surface is a study of material, texture, and the visible imprint of time. The series focuses on stone, metal, wood, and built structures shaped by weathering and use. Removed from broader context, each image reveals how surfaces hold history through erosion, patina, repetition, and wear.
