The pictorial world slowly forms line by line; as a drawer, drawing is a process that allows me to comprehend my existence in the form-forming world.

She sees drawing with graphite as an analogy to such fragility embodied in the materiality of graphite itself. The materiality of graphite allows the drawing surface to be in constant flux, and each mark is erasable. By imagining the drawing surface as ground and each trace of a drawing as a stratigraphic layer, one can see that a drawing is an accumulation of marks, erasures, and fragmented temporalities. This process echoes the formation of rocks, where each grain results from thousands or even millions of years of erosion and sedimentation. Rocks form and transform into various states—seabeds, mountains, sand, and soil. Learning from rocks, She observes the cyclical relationships between the external environment and the inner geology of our bodies. Microchips, graphite ore, gypsum panels in architecture, bones resting on the seabed, flesh, and ash are not so disparate. Akin to rocks, they are all transformations and sedimentations of matter.
