Artist’s Note:
The stone depicts two cars facing right.
Above them is an arrow.
This is a scene from a race that no one remembers anymore.
It is not known who was driving.
It is not clear where.
Only the idea remains — movement.

When everything else disappeared —
the asphalt, the gasoline, the routes themselves —
the stone remained.
It preserved what was important:
the desire to move forward.

This is a fragment of time
when people lived in the rhythm of speed.
When cars were an extension of the body,
and the road was an excuse.

Now all this is just a beaten track.
A simple line.
An arrow.
Forward.

The stone is the first blockchain.
It does not forget.
