#1 The riven trunk of an old ash tree marks the entrance to the underland. The underland is a labyrinth that deepens steeply into the earth. It is a cold, dark space full of sound and scenes that move slowly.

#2 The Minotaur is a figure on a coin designed by a metalworker on an island in the Mediterranean 300 years before the founding of the Roman Empire. The coin’s face shows a square labyrinth with a single entrance on its upper edge and a complex path to its centre.

#3 The same three tasks - to shelter what is precious, to yield what is valuable, and to dispose of what is harmful - recur across cultures and epochs.

#4 The underland is full of dirt, mortality, and brutal labor. It is a symbol of what cannot be said or seen: loss, grief, and the mind’s obscured depths.
