Milestone 1: The Colonization of Concrete
Concrete is often viewed as a symbol of human dominance over nature. Yet, on any highway barrier or city wall, micro-colonies of lichen and moss gradually dissolve the calcium carbonate, reclaiming the structure. This speculative diary monitors this slow, persistent bio-activity, exploring concrete as a host.
Lived Reflections
By shifting our attention from the fast speed of city traffic to the slow growth of local lichens, we explore alternative timescales, repositioning human life within deep geological epochs.
