2025 Stone incense holder
still / stand by Tsuyoshi NAKATOMI

"still" series is an ongoing attempt to gently reopen the relationship between stone and its surroundings through minimal intervention—an open-ended still life that embraces change while remaining a stone.
In "stand", a small hole is made to insert incense and light a flame. Through layers of fire, ash, and the passing of time, a quiet relationship with the stone gradually unfolds.
