"Obsidian +004" feels like a fragment of a primordial terrain, suspended in deep time. There's a profound stillness here, almost archaeological. The blackened surface, studded with mica-like particles, raw stones, and hints of metallic shimmer, evokes the crust of an alien world or a microscopic topography of a life-bearing asteroid. Its glittering greens and golds shimmer beneath a skin of black, recalling bioluminescence, mineral veins, or dark matter blooming into form. This one speaks in geological time, yet pulses with something strangely alive—as if a dormant intelligence lies just beneath the surface.
