“Karst: The Erosion of Identity”
“Karst: The Erosioin of Identity” explores the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the coastal rocks along Spain’s Costa Blanca. Erosion, a slow but inevitable process, mirrors the human experience of transformation and the passage of time. As wind, water, and weather sculpt the calcareous formations, a metaphor for human resilience and adaptation emerges.
This project delves into the intimate relationship between the individual and the environment, using the shifting coastlines as a reflection of our inner landscapes. Just as the sea carves its mark into the rocks, our identities are shaped by the forces of life—experiences, emotions, and the passage of time. Each groove, crack, and indentation in the rock is a testament to both destruction and creation, echoing the way humans evolve, sometimes through pain, yet always in pursuit of something new.
Through the study of these coastal forms, Karst invites a reflection on the nature of change. The rocks bear the marks of millennia, yet they also speak of impermanence, serving as a constant reminder that nothing is static—neither in nature nor in ourselves.
