Stones
It feels so normal to think that if I want to see works of art, I should go to a museum, if I want to decorate my home, I should go to a shop. And yet, breathtakingly beautiful and meaningful objects can be found in nature. In fact, this is where I go to when I want to see something magical or find something to decorate my home with. I do not use human-made objects to decorate my home. It's not to say that fellow humans shouldn't be using human-made objects in a genuinely sustainable society. Craft objects, hand-made objects, objects found in a second-hand shop or inherited objects, all of these are more sustainable options too. But I prefer the ones that I can borrow from nature and return back to her at some point.
I found these stones on a beach here in Denmark. I never buy stones at stores because I don't know how they were mined, where exactly, and by whom. I believe that local stones are just as beautiful and one can have a deep connection with them. At times, I bring home shells, wild flowers, and branches of trees.
