IMPACT23 - Paola Bascón: Mineral Kinships

Introducing mineral touch

As you hold and touch a small stone,
I invite you to engage with it.
Feel its weight and texture,
recognize its shape and small details.

Take some time
and use your fingers as tactile microscopes
to magnify what might escape your eyes.
