Ruins

Apr 27, 2025

Photographs and old snake engravings.

A long skinny snake on a worn white background.
The ruins of a fortress on an island of tall grasses with a huge clear sky.
Engravings of five very different snakes. One is halfway through swallowing a lizard head-first. One is coiled into a tight circle. One has a face like she's laughing.
A person disappears into marsh grasses, walking along a thin white wall that stretches from the camera to the center of the image.
A messy table of unfinished art, with a fresh drawing of a snake, an old etching of the same snake cut out, a large blurry photo of an abandoned building, a paint brush, the name 'Mar' cut out, and a small pile of dry snake skin.
An industrial building burnt to bits, piles of old steel and wooden planks in piles.
