Tierpark

This one was basically inspired by the backrooms aesthetics, I find that repetititive universe pretty cool  for a variety of reasons. I mixed that with the beautiful pictures made by photographer @hangschlitt  in various undergrounds in the world but especially the Berlin Ubahn.

Really I am thinking of this because I was searching for

1877

Sleepwalking straight from bed one early morning I got it on the tip of the finger, the idea of the perfect portrait for that blonde here on my diorama. Really I was sure of it, the mystery cloud had finally disappeared after more than 3 years of conversation. But I dropped a spoon on the
