This is the space between states. The realm where things dissolve their old forms before revealing what they’re becoming.
AQUATIC GALAXY

In this shallow world, revealed,
a universe.
Where algae turn into stardust and sea anemones bloom like celestial nebulae.
Tiny barnacles scatter like diamond dust across this underwater galaxy.
A new discovery, a new beginning – at this place I passed.
Its secluded beauty held me, and I returned.
To linger for a while.
THE VOID

Spellbound, I descend into the darkness, into a flowing geological formation that welcomes me.
The blackness does not consume me; it is the pure form of the origin, enveloped in clear white.
How do I find the patience to discover all this?
I wait.
Everything flows; nothing is static; everything is in flux.
I go with it.
I go along, flickering between the shadows.
The image stands still, but I – I do not.
DISTORTION

The surface has been altered.
Burnt, broken, smudged.
In the centre is a disruption, and a dark portal opens inward, leaving faint traces of chalk around it.
They are ghostly notes, and I catch a glimpse of written instructions that have given my inner self a voice.
They could be memories, thoughts or even dreams.
I try to grasp them, to sort them out.
But my gaze is drawn to the center of chaos, and I—
I don’t understand.
POSEIDON’S WRATH

My hands are cold.
Where did it go wrong?
Have the gods forsaken us, or is it their answer to what we did?
Swaying, I can barely hold myself.
Thunder is near, and I feel that there is no hope left, as the waves crash against my future.
