the call of the void
The Descent, let’s set the mood:
We look outside, upwards at the stars and revel in the vastness of space - so open, so limitless, so full of wonder. Out there is filled with infinite possibilities and directions. Yet what about inside, the world within and below our feet. That same sense of wonder, but limited and caged within cracks and crevices. Never expanding and ever shrinking, pressurizing our curiosity. The void of the interior. A place where breaths become shallow and quickened as time slows and darkens. Yet we desire to touch that unknown.
These are some of the stories of those who sought to discover what lies within:
