Wonmin treats every volcanic stone used in Stone & Steel as a substitute for the Earth itself. The textured surface of each stone equates to the Earth’s crust, with minute cracks equivalent to vast crevasses, smooth planes becoming wind-blown deserts.

In this way Wonmin collapses the scale of the Earth in on itself, and distorts magnitude through perspective. Viewed up close, rough patches on the stone resemble mountain ranges, and with each hammer of his chisel, Wonmin creates further microscopic geological formations. The artist draws an atomic link between the stones and the Earth despite their vastly difference sizes, using each rock to magnify details on the other.
