Viva to the Tenebrous



Unlike the creation and upkeep of neat as pin and ritzy artistic evidences of our culture, their visually gloomy and rinky-dink opposites are allegedly more toilsome relics to conceive and produce. We are all naturally inclined to pursue perfection, whereat clean images are the first thing to come to mind... Why would someone muddle despair and loneliness into artworks, moreover, raise the bar and render distressing figments of their imagination in an eye-catching (alternatively, mind-arresting) way? After all, the message imparted darkly is still a message.

Among all science fiction stories I have devoured a lot in my school years, Usher II chapter of Martian chronicles always held a special place in my memory. I remember perusing and re-reading uncountable times original Edgar Poe citations for the rough house (like on the picture above) and its murky surroundings, proprietor's praise and contractor's depiction of the machines, sneaked around and affecting the place, otherwise, sunny and mild. The idea of going to the bother of artificially vitiating the locality, and admirably too, gets a hold of me ever since. Furthermore so, if it conceals some purpose.
