Harvest Codex | Story Marks

Story
A tall wheat stalk anchors a field of signs—eyes, fish, sun, and a small house—arranged like a compact ledger of daily life. The grid reads as a symbolic map where nourishment, watchfulness, movement, and shelter are kept in quiet balance.

Design
Bold, controlled metal lines create compartments and open windows of negative space, allowing the composition to stay architectural and airy. When mounted off the wall, the cut pathways cast a floating shadow that sharpens edges and deepens the grid’s rhythm.

Curator’s Note
Wheat is often used as a mark of harvest and sustenance, while eyes can suggest attention and memory. Fish and sun icons commonly signal cycles, travel, and renewal, and the house motif adds a stable point of return within the larger system of marks.
