What we’re about
What Is the Group 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.
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.
