The first of fifty-five images in this series offers the thesis of the short film, “IN-SHADOW: A Modern Odyssey”. Earth, as represented by a cube, shows humanity bound in matter and held by the immanent Supernal Light, which propels it toward conscious evolution.

The cube points to the nature of our shared consensual reality. It's the noosphere rigidified by the collective descent into mechanical thinking, feeling, and being.

As matter is gradually spiritualized, it begins to awaken from its patterned unconscious structure. From this stage of density, humanity begins its magnificent ascent toward the Eye of the Simulation.
