​This short silent comic is about a mind that is blocked, clogged, chaotic and in need of care. Here I used soil as a metaphor for the mind to offer solutions by projecting different aspects of soil from  soil mechanics, soil microbiology to wildfires into clearing, cleaning, restoring, revitalizing and reconnecting acts. 

Particle size analysis is a basic test in soil mechanics to separate soil particles according to their sizes using differently sized sieves.

Soil water levels affect the connection between soil pores. A water saturated soil, with its open water pathways, allows motility of microorganisms and diffusion of nutrients. As the soil dries, water levels decrease, eventually leading to disconnected pathways, hence limiting the motility and diffusion. This ultimately affects the health of the entire soil ecosystem.

Soil is a living entity where organisms, from macro to micro, constantly interact. Mycelium creates a network that connects organisms (such as the tree roots) and aids in transport of microorganisms, facilitating wide range of interactions.  Such interactions can result in the production of new metabolites, fostering new symbiotic relationships within the soil.

Wildfires are often viewed negatively, however fire is fundamentally a transformative element shaping the evolution of life. Fire can act as a revitalizing force for the soil by removing the unwanted, unnecessary or unused matter and giving way for the new formations.
