A study in four depths

STRATA

A vertical journey through deep time — from the cold geometry of the surface to the molten memory at the centre of everything.

Descend
01Genesis — 4.5 billion years ago

Where pressure
first learned
to hold a shape.

Crystal is the earliest writing we have: atoms arranged once, then repeating faithfully for the rest of time.

02The Field

Ten million years,
folded into
a single wave.

Stone behaves like water if you wait long enough. Every hillside is a slow-motion ripple that forgot to settle.

03The Core — 6,400 km down

Every mountain is a cooled
argument between fire and stone.

The centre of the Earth is younger than its surface, because gravity keeps rewriting it. Heat is just memory that refuses to cool.

04Ascent

What sinks becomes
what rises.

Time here runs both ways. Scroll back up — the whole journey will unmake itself for you, frame by frame.
