These videos are apart of the project 'Rocks I have Taken' and are of transplanted rocks collected from stolen lands, lands used for killing, and lands narrowly evading the invasion of humans.

Rocks by Maria Sappho
(Collection of fragments of folk songs, mostly taken from the songbook of Joan Baez, with one exception of 'the blacksmith' from Steeleye Span)
"Rocks I have Taken is a visual album of stories, sounds, and videos of rocks that I have collected from places I have been or places I am from. Each rock is paired with a story of a land which in one way or another has felt the invasion of human presence. These are stories both ancient and not so distant, which tell different paths of exchanging histories, conquered and stolen lands, lost cultures and languages, but growth and change nonetheless."
