"Deep time," as conceived by Sophie Strand, refers to the vast, unfathomable expanse of geological and cosmic history that stretches far beyond the brief flicker of human existence. In her poetic and ecologically attuned lens, deep time is an interconnected continuum that humbles humanity, revealing the intricate dance of minerals, microbes, and landscapes that have evolved over billions of years. Strand sees deep time not as a distant relic of the past, but as a living, breathing tapestry that underscores the interconnectedness of all life forms. It reorients our perception, urging us to recognize our place within a grander narrative, where the roots of humanity are entwined with the very essence of the earth and the stars.
