Sea Beyond

The camera angle is severe: we hang in the absolute blackness of space, the void a massive, heavy blanket. Only a razor-thin line of gold divides this emptiness from the blue, breathing sphere below.

The Earth is not a sphere of blue water, but a furnace of human intent. The continents are swallowed by a sea of light, millions of connections blaze, turning the land into a fractal network of energy. This light is the collective hum of every city, every thought, every movement.

Below the horizon, the darkness returns, segmented by bold, geometric shapes of pink and black. Cosmic dust falls like digital rain. Abstract symbols of up-arrows, grids, and global connectivity float in this space, representing the systems we build beneath the quiet terror of the void.

The viewer sees the planet not as a home, but as a battery. It is the ultimate question of scale: Does the engineered world reach for the great beyond, or does the weight of the cosmos simply press down on the fragile, glowing map we make of ourselves?
