​I once had a conversation with someone who couldn't grasp why I consider soil and rocks to be integral parts of life. To them, anything defined as “non-living" simply wasn't worth considering.

This experience and my deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of all life inspired this story. It explores the science of soil formation (though a bit simplified)  interwoven with philosophical inspiration from paradoxes in physics, a longing for mountains, cycle of life and mythology.

And what better way to do it than with a comic medium? It's paradoxical form itself, where a page can show time separately and at once. Something that makes your brain tingle.

I hope this little story sparks an appreciation for the soil and the interconnectedness of life . In the age of multiple crises, that is what we need most.
