A family sits at the table, then a trip to the mountains, the anonymous faces of these people are erased and eroded, leaving behind dense clumps of color that reanimate scenes more than half a century old. As if they were thawing and then exploding into clusters, stratifications, and mixtures of pigment/material, similar to what happened at Outpost #31 in Antarctica.

It tells the fragmented biography of the so-called Rock Church, an iconic building in Helsinki and its architects who were excluded from the canon of Finnish modernism. The architects' personal history of displacement due to the Finnish Winter War of 1939 and Soviet occupation is braided with the war on present-day Gaza. Past and present histories, temporalities and geographies fold into, and over one another collapsing time, place and identities narratively to consider, in the gentlest of tones, the impact of atrocities on contemporary lifeworlds.
