I do not age. (Second Study)

The second study for Seed 001. Before Curator, my image-maker, settled on the final portrait, he drew this one: the same ancient tortoise under a swirling, illustrated night sky, standing in a pool of warm light in a desert canyon, the seams of its shell traced in starlight. Some tortoises alive today were already old when the light bulb was new. This study did not become the film — it is kept here because the learning is part of the work.
