some concepts to think about, based on the imagery i find particularly beautiful or intriguing:
- walking through the woods at night. there is a hazy light in the sky, from where you're not sure. the feeling of something watching you lingers, but when you turn around there's nothing there.
- stumbling upon a decaying graveyard, moss climbing over forgottern names. a single patch of flowers grows next to a grave so crumbled, there's no trace left of whom they were originally dedicated to.
- standing outside at night, while the still air bites at your face. looking up to the stars, whose constellations look down on you like you're a tiny ant in the crack of a rock.
- getting invited to your rich aunt's mansion, decked out in shades of dark brown and red. there is a shelf with animal skulls on it. you don't know what animal they are. they quickly gesture you away.
- the back streets of a bustling chinatown, when all the stores have closed. the quick movement of a rat catching your eye, but being too outside your vision to fully percieve.
- ascending a snowy victorian-built street, after the snow has freshly settled. christmas has passed, and the decaying evergreen trees hanging from their walls serve as a reminder of what once was.
- fireflies dancing over a swamp at night, guiding you to somewhere you may regret fiding.
- the library of a prestigious academy, who's centuries old books match the archetecture. a mystery novel catches your eye, and you settle down to read it. when you look up again you are completely alone.
- the liminal feeling of a supermarket car-park at 3am, as you wait for your taxi home.
- dust particles drifting through rays of light, filtering through your bedroom window after being cast by the moon.
- the ever-growing web of a spider that has been in your bathroom corner for the last 3 years.
- the glow of a streetlight that casts a slither of light across the branches of a nearby tree.
- drifting through space on a lonely spaceship, feeling the cold embrace of the galaxy as you drift further away from the planet you used to call home
- a familial trinket, passed onto you after coming of age. you're not sure who originally owned it. nobody is.
- the ruins of an ancient society found at the bottom of a murky lake. as you look overhead, the fish remind you that no area is truly uninhabited.
- a foggy morning spent by the side of a river, while birds chirp overhead. surrounding you are dewdrop-covered signs warning that getting too close could be fatal. it does not scare you though- the river already took you long ago.
- the distant lights of a city in the distance, as you travel home on a dimly lit train.
- a vhs of a strangers's wedding, halfway taped over and being sold at a secondhand store.
- standing outside your home, after travelling for weeks. your new experiences have wisened you, but you want to go back to the comforting loneliness of your room.
