« Subterranean Fantasy »
Our first creative exploration is the one of the mind and the subconscious. The ambiguity between reality and imagination.
Taking the form of a photographic essay, this adventure story is set deep under Earth's crust—at its geometric center. The myth of the Rabbit archetype inverted, between Lunar energies and the structures of the Underworld.

How to relate to a world that moves so fast. Yet so slow.
Like in this dream, where you give all your lynx to run.
But your body, so weak, you barely move.
The paradox of reality—everything.
Where the self is beyond time and space, an ode to faith. The infinite prisoner.
Like a shadow that follows you. That you follow.
A mirage filled with sound.
A continuity, a new chapter.
The collaborative fantasy, a hybrid space yet to be explored.

The disbelief, to realize. To open eyes. Bringing to the surface quelled memories and feelings. These, which we learn to learn. Sadness and anger as reconstruction. To grow stronger. To grow bolder.
Like heavenly patterns of experimentation. Of dreams traversing reflection. Like the ghosts of long lost histories.
These, that symbolize the peace that comes, that break the silence. That do dream dreams that signify magic, power, success. That be a religious icon. That be vigilant and deft. That be the Moon.

The Rabbit archetype acts as a guide. A guide between Heaven, the Earth, and The Underworld. They’re an emblem of journeys and may be called upon. The creature comes to represent life. As a sound navigator with perceptions that pilot them through darkness.
Because of this, it symbolizes those moments in life when in unfamiliar surroundings, lighting the way for inner direction. Taking a journey that can rattle the mind. Exploring the outer reaches of the psyche and journeying deep into inner worlds in which we encounter the bizarre or unusual, while we stumble down the rabbit hole, drawn into the subterranean world.
Associated with the Moon, a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. A protector of secrets and mysteries. Guardian of hidden knowledge and truth. Intuition and awareness. Lunar energies from the underworld, seen as a guide to intuition and spiritual insight. Returned to god state. The goddess of transformation and rebirth.

Intuition and awareness.
This is an invitation to enter the dream world. A self-proclaimed transition, an evolution, a break in time, a pause. The in-between of lost and searching. Of healing, a quest for belonging. An introspection on precarity and instability itself.
Inverting the myth. A twist to reflect the real world. Immersive arches of the heart—the patterns. Finding a place between the structures, the mere mantra of reality.

Trust truth. Pleasure is power.
