When infinity narrows, where does your mind run to hide?
Compression at the Cosmic Threshold: Infinity as a Claustrophobic Lattice. Here I investigate what happens when infinity is not endless, but collapses into an airless, hypersharp prison of tension — a black hole’s inside, where space itself becomes rigid under compressive tidal force. I wanted to show the horror of crossing a frontier where all escape vectors are strangled to a pinprick, and the entire external universe flickers like a dying signal at the end of perspective. Every filament, every warped edge, every glacial color exists to make the viewer feel not expansion, but the merciless mathematics of the singularity’s unyielding grip.
