occupied by exploded systems

A pastel illustration of bright stars and flares against a pale blue background, painted across a page of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Select words of the original text have been left visible and emphasized to create a new poetic message against the art piece.

By Ruth Hilton

occupied by exploded systems,

guided by

the heavens.
with curiosity

I stood
old and beautiful

and nothing remained

nothing would or could ever be known.
