Dot begins with a quiet image: footprints crossing fresh snow, echoing “Snow” (برف /bæɾf/) by Persian poet Mehdi Akhavan Sales, where a trace is present only briefly before it begins to disappear.
The project amplifies this fragile moment to the scale of the landscape. An autonomous sphere moves across the snow, releasing temporary colored pigment. Its path becomes an enlarged footprint—a record of presence and passage.
A dot is also an ending: the final mark after a line. Here, the landscape holds a line that is continuously ending.
Over time, wind, weather, and snowfall gradually dissolve the colored trace back into the landscape. The installation does not resist erasure; it depends on it. Impermanence becomes its material.
Visitors may follow the sphere, cross its path, or encounter its fading trace, turning the frozen landscape into a temporary field of memory.
