The pile of pebbles is a metaphor for trying to control chaos. The process of creating an image is a struggle between the theoretically infinite number of possible combinations and the awareness of the applicable laws of physics. The role of the artist here is to wishfully recreate alternative scenarios for a given arrangement of bodies, rather than to create something entirely new. Taking friction, texture and gravity into account, each image is a reminder of the collision between ideas and matter, the inevitable clash between desire and reality.
