Project
A figure with a torch confronts a hieroglyphed monolith under a vast cold moon — a study in scale and small light.
The piece is about a single figure asked to make sense of something that vastly predates them. The monolith is built to feel like both architecture and biology — the cracks read as veins, the carved symbols as scars.
The colour script splits the image in two: cool moonlight from above, warm torchlight from the cave floor. The figure stands exactly on the seam.
