In Drifting Stones, Paul Cupido expands his visual meditation on impermanence, weaving together image, memory, and emotion through the elusive lens of Mu —the Japanese philosophical concept of the void as fertile space. The stones in question are not fixed or heavy, but suspended in motion— symbols of transience caught mid-drift, between gravity and release.

 

Cupido’s photographs in this series feel like whispers from another realm. They don’t document—they dissolve. Blurred edges, soft focus, fleeting silhouettes—each frame is a pause, a breath, an invitation to surrender to the now. These images shimmer with the understanding that nothing lasts, and in that very truth lies a quiet, aching beauty.

 

Amplifying this meditative journey is an original score by electronic composer Pawel Pruski.

Known for his immersive ambient soundscapes, Pruski merges modular synthesis, field recordings, and algorithmic patterns to create sound worlds that feel both scientific and deeply human. His music doesn’t accompany Cupido’s images—it floats among them, mirroring their logic of drift, chance, and emotional depth. Limited edition to 200 vinyls, first pressing and only pressing (no re-press), hand numbered, bronze pantone on covers (front + back). Cutting lacquer, 12'' blue vinyl, matte outer sleeve + printed on 300gm paper, black inner with empty hole. mastered by Taylor Deupree.

 

Drifting Stones is more than a photobook. It is a sensorial dialogue between two artists who understand the poetry of disappearance. A space where sound becomes light, and light becomes silence. It asks not for answers, but for attention.
