Stratum, plural Strata, sedimentary rock layer bounded by two stratification planes, the latter being produced by visible changes in the grain size, texture, or other diagnostic features of the rocks above and below the plane. A stratum that is less than one centimetre (0.4 inch) in thickness is termed a lamina, whereas one greater than this thickness is a bed. See stratification.
Stratification, the layering that occurs in most sedimentary rocks and in those igneous rocks formed at the Earth’s surface, as from lava flows and volcanic fragmental deposits. The layers range from several millimetres to many metres in thickness and vary greatly in shape. Strata may range from thin sheets that cover many square kilometres to thick lenslike bodies that extend only a few metres laterally.

Just like soil, a human is made up of layers created by different stages of life. They are formed by big and small events, acts and experiences. The layer below affects the next one and together they shape a person’s external surface layers and sense of self. In order to explain the current form, one has to go deeper and dig out the layers hidden in the subconscious or memory.
The exhibition is flashes of layers.
