Earthless (2026) Original Pencil Drawing by Marina Ogai

20.5 x 29.5 x 0.1cm (unframed)

£447

By their very nature, roots demand earth. But what if the footing lies in the very absence of earth? The familiar sign of rootedness takes on the opposite meaning. What was meant to hold one fast to a single place no longer dictates the terms.

Life is no longer something to look for underfoot – you carry it with you. In the gap between expecting a foundation and finding none, there is no struggle. It turns out one can be without soil and still remain wholly oneself.

Ships rolled in a rigid tube.
