If every direction leads inward,
to what place does your gaze return?
Inside the Event Horizon: The Claustrophobia of Collapsing Space.
Here I investigate the psychic pressure found where geometry itself breaks—where space is crushed, folded, and funneled into a suffocating ellipse. The black, frost-webbed mat of carbon filaments and the cold, bioluminescent shimmer on impossible Möbius knots embody the sensation of being forcibly compacted by invisible force. I wanted to show how all forms are bent inward, how the future's light is pinched into a single, clamping slit overhead—a visual compression that transforms infinity into an alien, confining beauty. The distortions you see are born from the gravitational dominance within, challenging the mind to comprehend the insatiable hunger of a black hole from the inside where escape means surrendering to collapse.
