About this artwork

"Since 2017 we have been picking up stones on sea shores, at river banks, walking along a path in a wood or any place not frequented by masses of people: Kea Island, Vouliagmeni, mountains in Bavaria, Tempelhofer Feld Berlin, Koyasan and Nara in Japan, Ostia, and Santa Severa. The morphology of a stone catches our eyes at a distance. We bend down, crouch or kneel, hold the stones, and look for others. We add eyes, mouth, nose, sometimes ears until an expression is found. They become 'them.'' (Prinz Gholam)
