Alone inside the seed-lodge - it's placental walls formed of a graphite hued plant-like web reaching a towering pinnacle overhead. The wall splits and slowly opens, closes, shutters and transforms – you are emitted into this luminous moment. You are the seed. You are the entirety of the world. Every element of an unfolding expanse is held in a persistent subtle vibratory motion. In this vast rhizomatic oscillation, one thousand conversations travel like beads threaded on sinews of light. Standing in cellular communion on a lake of supple glass, you watch as fungal architectures rise and fall and rise again. Mycelium encoded with the potential of civilizations yet to come and travelers long departed.
Standing on a translucent glazed surface an uncertain distance above the shifting light bending chasms below. The lung-seeds spread their wings and ascend. The viscera is cleansed. Your journey begins.
