In Measuring Entropy, what looks like a paper cast explores the fragile persistence of nature in an age dominated by technological processes. A silicone cast of a ground outside the artist’s studio in Lebanon’s mountains was left outdoors to collect fallen pine needles, their slow accumulation marking the passage of time. Pressing paper pulp onto the mould’s surface preserved a fossil-like imprint of the foliage, an index of entropy, and a reminder of paper’s own vulnerability to obsolescence in the digital era.
