AGAINST THE DYING SUN (2020)

For Mensfolio November'20 Issue


In a twilight of suns that never ceases to sleep, standing within the silent echoes of a still concrete room, a slow dive into trance follows a single protagonist. Quiet as it may, his body fluid as ripples, yet embellished in awe. This is life an aquarium, a parade of identities, never to be lived. Where renditions of the outside begin to play. Yet, only known to him and him alone. This is life in an aquarium, a puzzle of living where dreams go to sleep. A gender-bendition exhibition of styles from Fall/Winter '20, surviving only in fantasy.
