Each stone is unique, but the functions of stone and the image of the stone are manipulated and tampered with. Some similarities can be found between the artificial interventions in materials and the interventions of spiders on their prey: The image of matter is disintegrated, and new forms of existence and new functions of matter are created. Image and function follow each other.




Silent Declaration is a collection of elements from stone. The work establishes new connections between materials. A passive relational structure is visualised through the perception of physicality.
