Touchstones

This piece draws on the idea of the touchstone as both a grounding presence and a measure of truth. Just as a stone’s surface reveals what presses against it, our relationships both steady us and expose what lies beneath. The layered, luminous forms suggest warmth and closeness, even as their rough textures hint at friction and vulnerability. This duality mirrors the way human connection can both comfort and challenge, leaving lasting imprints on who we are.
