What is time?
Each day, Soren, the little green stone, gazes from his rock longingly out at the sea. He would like to feel the sea so bad, to fathom its secrets. But it takes forever for the sea to reach him. He waits for days, years, centuries. Until finally a little girl finds Soren – her lucky stone.

Multifaceted collages by Stefanie Harjes and essential poetry by Alexandra Helmig transport us to the sea and make us think differently about time.
