A series of "CRUST"

Stone has two kinds of face. One is very rough and aggressive which is just after came off bedrock, and the other is very tender face on a rever stone which had passed long long time. If a stone exposed these two faces at the same time, an immanent eros in stone migth be extracted beyond the space and time.
A shape comes form the nature, I just help a little to appear it.
