About this Event
What's This About?
“Fracture in Nature” is a space to explore how things break—in nature, in materials, in society, and in ourselves. It’s a space to share personal reflections and abstract ideas, drawing inspiration from patterns in the natural world and seeking fulfillment through connection.
This event is a small discussion. We’ll be looking at the visible and invisible fractures around us and asking:
- Why do things break?
- Can breaking be a form of growth or transformation?
- What can nature teach us about strength, stress, and reconnection?
- Why do tiny flaws lead to major effects in large systems?
- Can natural fractures be symbolic of human divides?
- Can time go backwards?
- Can objects and people reconnect—after they’ve broken apart?
Whether you love science, engineering, art, philosophy, or simply like asking big questions, this is a welcoming space to think deeply and connect with others. I am an engineer with a love of the natural environment. I am fascinated by fracture in natural materials.
