Conversation with a Stone

Inspired in part by Wisława Szymborska’s poem “Conversation with a Stone,” this series explores the boundary between the visible and the inexpressible — the wish to enter what remains quietly closed. Each small painting holds a real stone, becoming a quiet dialogue — not an attempt to possess meaning, but to listen to it, inviting stillness and reflection.

I knock at the stone’s front door. - “It’s only me, let me come in. I haven’t got two thousand centuries, so let me come under your roof.”
Conversation with a Stone, By Wislawa Szymborska
