DE Munich — — space where the earths meet PL Świętokrzyskie · Holy Cross Lands — — stone sea · Tethys & Paratethys PL Podlasie — — mineral wood river · oxygen-free water UA Volyn — — clay ice · ground by glaciers UA Zhytomyrshchyna — — stone fire · 1.75 billion years
Stone hundreds of millions of years old, from Poland and Ukraine.
Iron-rich clay laid down by cold marsh, thousands of years in Polissia.
Wood pulled from peat after a thousand years.
The earth gives. The maker holds. The fire decides.
We do not ask the stone to be other than stone.
The iron took thousands of years to find the clay.
The light took longer to find the stone.
Materials that hold this knowing, and pass it to the body that stands near them.
How Europe builds in the next twenty years will determine what Europe becomes.
