About the Book
The sun has not set in days. The sky is on fire. The clouds are swollen, heavy with the truth. Like a fever that will not break, sinθ #24 “EMBER 炎” hangs over us in an amalgamation of works that trouble, alarm and fascinate. Dissenting and mischievous, here are works that fan the flames in calculated chaos, dancing gracefully across an apocalyptic landscape.
