Vena Terra reads death as the motion of impermanence. Forms unmake themselves; skin becomes clay; memory settles into the ground. Impermanence is not loss but passage: what breaks returns as nourishment. In the womb of Mother Earth, cracks arrange into roots, paths into bonds. From stillness, strength is drawn; the body yields to the soil and is given back—not identical, but transformed. Not a finale but a circle: topography over monument, recurrence over end.
