GLORY
Can you feel the limitless possibilities disappear, without control.
You are stuck between two things, between two lands, between languages you don’t even understand. You have too many neighbors.
Glory is a continuum, a space in between. A box made of glass with a single life form inside. A person. A shell. A scent. A gaze. A dreamscape.
But also The Entertainment Venue where everything is possible and where the fun never ends.
Watch your step so you don't fall over the edge, into boredom, to a place where dreams go to die. Time is lost, forgotten. And you are the witness.
Finally we found her crawling back to us.
From an illusion of the pleasures of freedom.
In GLORY she finds her purpose in life.
Because we need her, we have this eerie urge to observe her every move.
GLORY doesn’t exist in solitary.
