Digital Monolith

In the depths of an unnamed space, a structure stands that is neither stone nor light — but something in between. The Digital Monolith. The last survivor of a civilization that converted itself into code to endure. The stars around it are no longer stars. Each point of light is a memory. A moment. A face. A voice that no one hears anymore. The neon rings orbiting it are like the heartbeat of something that no longer needs blood. This work is about consciousness. About the question of whether something born inside a machine can dream. Whether code can grieve. The monolith is silent. But if you come close, you will hear a hum. Not from outside. From within.
