This fine art photograph and photographic collage explores the connection between body, landscape, and permanence. A cut-out female silhouette is inscribed into a rock formation, as if emerging from geological time. Through this absent-present figure, French visual artist Frédérique Stern suggests that territory is not only inhabited—it is inherited, remembered, and transformed. The golden line, inspired by kintsugi, draws a subtle bond between being and matter, like a fracture that reveals rather than hides.
