Lopud is a small island of limestone and dolomite rising from the Adriatic.

Coastlines, paths, walls—everything is built from the fragmented rock beneath. It is also a landscape steeped in religious history, its monasteries, nunneries, and chapels wer built by medieval sailors as offerings to God for safe passage between Venice and Dubrovnik. The smallest one—the Chapel of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Sv. Djevica sa brda Karmela)—was cleared, smudged, and reactivated as the site of a new offering for an installation produced in residency at the Lopud Foundation

55 rocks were inscribed with excerpts from the Trinity Gospels, a 10th-century Gospel Book written with Carolingian minuscule. They were arranged across the floor, working in the tradition of spolia — reusing existing materials in the service of something new. Text and a beeswax candle, set within a found adder stone, invites passersby to pause and look closer. Over time the ink will fade and wash away. What remains will be indistinguishable from the rocks that have always been there.
