The Inalienable Horror of Big Things | Static Canvas
98Lots of works deal with the morbidity of scale, but very few manage to seep through the cracks into our most primal fears. In this volume of Static Canvas, I explore three tales of colossal entities and the surprisingly different emotional responses I had to each of them.

The Blame! soundtrack - Yugo Kanno
