Coal embodies the quiet density and elemental power of the earth’s depths. Its surface, dark and fractured, carries the memory of compression and time — the transformation of organic matter into solid carbon. Subtle tonal shifts of charcoal, graphite, and ash reveal an understated luminosity, like light caught beneath layers of stone.
In this work, destruction and creation coexist — what was once alive is now fossilized energy, still pulsing faintly through shadow. It is a meditation on endurance, silence, and the latent force held within the earth’s core.Try it!
