FREE, NO BOOKING REQUIRED Not many people have encountered a lake and not thrown a stone in it. And where skipping stones come into play – it is now even a competitive sport.
The physics behind it is simply Newton’s third law, where ‘For every action there is equal and opposite reaction..
The reactive force (lift) on the stone is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction from the force that the stone exerts on the water. As long as the lift is greater than the force exerted by stone, the stone will bounce. With every collision with the water energy is dissipated, the height of skips keep decreasing and when the initial kinetic energy is fully dissipated the stone sinks.
Where the path of a skipping stone is best captured in motion, we wanted to capture it in situ through the medium of unconventional florals. In this form, the path is living and thriving, creating an imprint long after the stone has path. At its core, the exhibition provides a perspective that blurs the lines of landscape and physics.
