Given enough attention, even decay begins to speak. Clouds form on the surface of weathered cars, mirroring those in the sky. Old boats seem to carry memories of the coasts they once visited. Cosmic scenery emerges too.
The universe recycles the same grammar across scales while time paints forms with a surrender older than intention itself. Traces of harmony appear in what seemed random at first. Corrosion becomes landscape, memory and possibility.

The scale expands.
