In karst regions, human activity such as mining, agricultural irrigation, excessive groundwater extraction, and abnormal rainfall are accelerating the erosion, collapse, and cavitation of the landform.

This installation utilises readily available limestone pebbles and Himalayan salt to construct a temporary geological structure on the ground. It's shape adopts the form of the Tai Chi symbol from traditional Chinese culture, half stone and half salt: stone represents the relatively stable and slowly forming karst rock mass, while salt is a substance highly susceptible to the effects of moisture, air, and time. Salt gradually dissolves upon exposure to air, simulating the irreversible process of loss, suggesting that human activity does not only leave behind 'construction' on the landform, but continuous disappearance.

The juxtaposition of these two materials within the same structure exposes a difference in timescale: the rock undergoes the erosion of geological time, while the salt symbolises vulnerability under the accelerating impact of contemporary climate change and human activity.

As the karst landscape gradually dies, perhaps another kind of vitality will emerge. This project discusses the problems with permanent preservation: the sculpture's brief arrangement––the intervention of nature––and its eventual disintegration, platforms the possibilities within loss and ecological grief.
