unpacking...................

 

Soil.
Air.
Sea.

Basic words for complex things.

Language is amazing,
but it compresses huge, messy concepts
into tidy signifiers like overstuffed pockets.

Unpack the common words.
See what's hiding inside.

Stone.
Sun. 
Tree.

Not simple.
Fundamental.
Each, an invitation.
