Pebbles from the Adriatic Sea are placed on a mirror and covered with a piece of glass on which is written a sentence from Musil's "Journal" of 1918.

"Traces" are materialized memories. Sea pebbles placed on the old stone wall of the Culhan join two memories, or two remaining elements in two natural-cultural contexts.
