Broken Unity<\/h1>\n

Connections between seisms and knots. From the former, fractures remain, and from the latter, stillness prevails. <\/p>\n

The block divides itself. The once united parts draw apart. Unity is broken and hangs by a thread. Stability becomes precarious and stands the test of reason. I look for the breaking point. Separation is not yet inevitable, a glimmer of hope remains\u2026as conveyed by the ambiguous meaning of the word \u2018Unity\u2019 standing both for \u2018a state of oneness\u2019 and \u2018solidarity\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>
