A world of concrete works in disarray, thrown about by some unknown cataclysm.
The figure in the image realizes that safety lies not in hiding in darkness but in facing reality, seeking light, and acquiring knowledge. It is only with knowledge and the advantages of a greater perspective that one can hope to overcome obstacles.
Originally a personal work then later used for the cover of Eclipse One, an anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories, edited by Jonathan Strahan.
