When I was a child I had a dream about the end of the world. Humanity knew the end was near, and collectively chose to walk into the ocean and drown together. In my dream I was standing on the shore holding my dad’s hand, feeling scared at the journey ahead of me and sad that it had to happen. Years later I discovered the work of many, many artists also haunted by the idea of a “drowned world.” There wasn’t a sense of a heaven or hell, just a crossing between two worlds. The world we would enter after embracing death was a mystery
