“Future Finds” presents the skeletal remains of a polar bear suspended within an abyss, positioned in a moment of tension or encounter. Nearby, a crystalline formation emerges with equal clarity, its sharp geometry echoing the structure of bone. Removed from any fixed environment or scale, both forms exist as isolated specimens, suggesting a future in which natural systems are encountered only through fragments and remains.

The drawing places biological and geological processes in direct conversation, collapsing distinctions between them. The polar bear skeleton, once a living body, is rendered here as a structure shaped by time, no different in status from the crystal beside it. Both become records of duration, pressure, and transformation. In this context, the skeleton is no longer simply evidence of life, but a specimen of time itself, a formation that has passed through and been altered by temporal forces in the same way as mineral growth.

The absence of context shifts the image away from documentation and toward speculation, as if these elements have been rediscovered, catalogued, or misinterpreted in a distant future. What remains becomes the primary evidence. What is lost must be imagined. Through this pairing, the work considers how life, environment, and material history might be understood when all forms, organic or geological, are reduced to artifacts of time.
