Capital Compression

As the wind deposits dust, and dirt settles into soil, the landscape forms. The amassment of dirt and specks transfers pressure upon pressure, upon pressure. What erodes elsewhere, gathers here. Until carbon turns into diamond, and compression into capital. Capital Compression explores the poetics of blockchain technology. Photographically and discursively, it employs strategies of authentication and documentation. A hashed poem in nineteen lines, a series of twenty photographs, and an essay intertwine.
