This composition presents mysteries to me: what is the source of that dramatic groove ripping through the sand? What caused the subtle circles? Even the foot: for some time I mistook it for a canine print . . .
For me the scene evokes a contemplation on our origins: an unusually formed imprint from an ambiguous species; the stone seems to move through its sandy milieu, cutting a wake in its path much as does our tiny rock Earth as it perpetually swims against the solar wind; the vector which bisects the canvass (origin unclear even when I took this photograph) hints at upward trends - progress, perhaps. (We can hold out hope.)
